WWE Mae Young Classic Competitor On the Women’s Revolution Starting ‘Long Ago’, Rumored All-Women’s PPV
WWE Mae Young Classic competitor Mercedes Martinez recently spoke with Newsweek and below are some interview highlights:
On the WWE Women’s Revolution:
“[The WWE] talked about this revolution for the last couple of years, but the revolution started a long time ago, but now it’s mainstream and everyone gets to see women’s wrestling for what it is. I’m glad to be a part of that journey.”
“With all the new talents and names coming into the Mae Young, I’m there,” Martinez said. “Regardless if it’s a competition, if they want my advice or just want to vent, want me to listen, I’m there no matter what … as a veteran in this business, our role is to help mold these girls and set them on the right path, whether it’s in WWE, overseas, Japan. I’m here and if they want it, take it.”

On a rumored all-female WWE event:
“I hope there to be an all-women’s show for WWE. Not just a tournament or special occasion, but maybe a weekly thing that’s just all women’s wrestling. That’s what we’re missing,” Martinez said. “We just don’t want to be an attraction, we don’t just want to main event a pay-per-view … we want to be THE show. We want to men to be the attraction for once.”
