Mercedes Mone Confirms Talks with Megan Thee Stallion Prior to WWE Deal

Following the end of its partnership with FOX, which broadcast SmackDown since 2019, WWE‘s blue brand has found a new home on the USA Network. Last week’s episode marked the debut of significant changes on SmackDown, including a new logo, a revamped set, and a new theme song. The theme song, “Neva Play,” features Megan Thee Stallion and RM of BTS.

This fueled speculation about whether it was a coincidence or if Mone’s hints influenced the decision. Following the announcement of WWE’s collaboration with Megan Thee Stallion, Mercedes Mone admitted that it was a mistake to publicly tease her plans to collaborate with her.
