In a recent interview with WTOP News, AEW TBS Champion Mercedes Mone discussed her connection with her cousin, the famed rapper Snoop Dogg.
Mone mentioned that she wasn’t truly aware of who Snoop Dogg was until she turned ten years old.
She said, “I didn’t know him [Snoop Dogg] until I was probably like 10 years old and my dad was like, ‘Your cousin is a really famous rapper now,’ and I’m like, ‘Oh, cool.’ When I was 16 he took me to ‘WrestleMania 24’ and that’s when we really started to become close. Our bond is the love of wrestling, he grew up such a wrestling fan and I grew up watching wrestling, so when we went to ‘WrestleMania’ together … I told him one day I wanted to be a wrestler.”
Mone defended her NJPW STRONG Women’s Title against Momo Watanabe last Friday at NJPW Capital Collision 2024.
