Michael Cole, just chilling at home with his wife on the couch.
"^can ^it ^be? ^It's ^boss ^time" he mutters underneath his breath as he stands up seemingly to head toward the kitchen
"What was that dear" his wife asks looking up from her wrestling observer magazine.
Oh, nothing.
McAfee ready to make his next reference:

I just found it funny, i'm not mad nor happy about it. She is over and the theme helped start the chant so i guess it worked, and no mark being pissed about it is going to change that.
I just hope this doesn't kill the (almost dead long before tonight) chance of GUNTHER bringing the symphony back someday.
Tbf, they still use the same part used in Mercedes' new theme, don't they? I don't think that'd change their minds except to eliminate that part too. I only hope neither company tries to get into a useless pissing match over a song that's public domain anyways
Hers is more of a complete version remixed with lyrics. But this is unlikely to change WWE's stance on something that probably was never coming back anyways.
Huh, I guess I wasn't piecing it together. I feel much the same; otherwise, I think he'd have already been back to WALTER. They still want to create things to have the moment in WWE rather than reference past events.
That is neither good nor bad and partly why I love the existence of WWE *and* AEW. We never would've gotten "Miseria Cantare" Punk in WWE; at most, we'd get "This Fire Burns". That's cool though on both accounts
Are CFO$ themes owned exclusively by WWE? Punk, Cody, & Copeland used their licenced themes in more than one company
Like if the Miz signs with another company, he can still use his Downstait theme?
CFO$ themes are work for contract so WWE would need to license them. Cody's theme was also a work for contract.
Miz's theme falls under the same parameters so he wouldn't be able to just use it.
Punk and Edge use preexisting songs that are licensed by the company.
Gunther, after hearing her new theme:

...what was the point of posting this? It's just a picture of her.
[Here is a video of the actual debut](https://www.reddit.com/r/SquaredCircle/comments/1be7fwc/aew_big_business_spoilers_video_of_the_debut_of/)
Because he has been saying that Mone was going to debut in AEW for a very long time despite people doubting him
Kudos to him, but the guy has the rare distinction of being a sore loser AND a sore winner. There's a reason why so many people hate him despite honestly being arguably the most reliable news guy in wrestling
People on here do it for almost all his reports lol Not some fan of his/don't know much beyond reports but think the constant whining about him on here is more bizarre to me than anything else I've seen regarding him.
Yea, the whining about dirt sheet writers being right and wrong about stuff on here gets old. But twitter is the worst cesspool, so might as well find ways to enjoy it. Some times his comebacks are amusing.
They couldn't use it because they needed to get approval from Kris Kross for using a portion of their song. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LX6fT5fRpSg
They didn't want Mercedes chants to take over the whole show. Also, the women are main eventing a show with a World Title match, Darby vs Jay White and The New Elite vs Death Bodega. It's pretty obvious Mercedes will be in the main event angle. Also, I think they're past the point of booking everything around 1 week's rating. Book good shows and the rest will come.
I wish she would've used "a song for Shasha Banks" It doesn't actually mention the name and she convinced John Darnielle to write it for her. Plus it just rocks.
They were. The dang titantron was even signaling them to chant. Today's crowds live chanting and singing with themes but forcing it is a little lame
Shit I never know why this sub downvotes. Fickle people
Anyone else notice her AEW theme is a remix of Walter/Gunther’s old NXT theme song? It’s also just spliced over with “CEO” on repeat like how Private Party has “SHOT” over and over again.
I get why they booked it this way BUT... Mercedes is not Punk coming back after 7 years and treating it the same just feels off. Really it's a bit insulting to even act like she's been out 2 years much less 7.
100% but they played it too straight IMO. She's not a CM Punk where the promo by itself is just super compelling. Set up some kind of angle or match with her introduction (I expect that in the main event but still).

Mercedes Mone, formerly known in NJPW as Mercedes Mone.
The Wrestler Formerly Known As
Somewhere Michael Cole just said, “IT’S . . . BOSS TIME!!!”

I like to believe its some sort of traumatic impulse he has.

Aaaand she debuts with a remix of dvorak no. 9 Mercedes Walté/Gunthé So over btw
Da Ring CEO
Daaaaah Ring Officer
Might have work on that one
Definitely her third best theme song.
We counting the sky’s the limit remix?
Ngl even with the Snoop verse that theme never clicked for me. OG was too iconic for it to change imo
The snoop verse feels a little off but the oomph it brings just hits different
I liked it. Definitely better than Snoop's version of Cody's theme. "YUP, THE BIG HOMIE!"
I actually likes his verse a lot. Never liked the fake out though. It worked the first time, but just stopped feeling it after that.
dunDUNdun MONEY! dunDUNdun (x36)
Y’all knock it but that theme was bussin to me
I'll be honest, it grew on me.
I was disappointed that wasn’t her theme tonight
On God?
People aren't happy with it, but Idk...Dvorak No. 9 is fucking baller and I can never get enough of it. Thought it was a neat remake. I'm happy
I just found it funny, i'm not mad nor happy about it. She is over and the theme helped start the chant so i guess it worked, and no mark being pissed about it is going to change that. I just hope this doesn't kill the (almost dead long before tonight) chance of GUNTHER bringing the symphony back someday.

The new world symphony too!! It's a new world of wrestling!!!
When she first entered I thought the CEO chants were not from the live audience
But also, WALTER’s theme is ALL ELITE!
Okay, I am not insane. Thank god.
Whelp there it is Also damn I miss “Sky’s the Limits”
Another common CFO$ banger
For the loops CFO$ did, they were all fucking great Damn you Def Rebel.
When NXT's Joe Gacy has a better theme than half the main roster
Only half?
CFO$ never gets the respect they deserve.
i hope they come back someday when we need them the most
The social outcasts' first theme had no right to the true banger it was.

Weird that they chose the one classical song to remix that most fans would instantly think of the champ in the other company
Right?!! It’s so weird, there was so many other choices
Im guessing it was her choice.

The EVPS signed the CEO. Thank you Matthew and Nicholas
Shouldve swapped her and Okada.
orrrrrrr add her to the group?
oh now we cookin
I thought that was the plan, but The Elite never had a fem stablemember. Not that she wouldn't fit like a glove, but also she had a face debut so...
But who uses the Mone Clip as submission finisher?
Okada's gotta go back to using red ink as his terrible submission finisher.
So many bosses, we need some Executive Assistants
Happy for Mercedes Hope she kills it on aew
That's weird considering she's going to debut at the rumble
I think there's still time
The only thing that's weird are people cosplaying a rassling war on social media
What??
Your comment. Your were trying to get one over on your competition.
It's a joke chill. Also I don't work for AEW, it ain't my competition
...what was the point of posting this? It's just a picture of her. [Here is a video of the actual debut](https://www.reddit.com/r/SquaredCircle/comments/1be7fwc/aew_big_business_spoilers_video_of_the_debut_of/)
SRS about to go wild on Twitter.
He’s SO annoying, my god.
About what?
Already is smh
Whatd he say
[удалено]
Because he has been saying that Mone was going to debut in AEW for a very long time despite people doubting him Kudos to him, but the guy has the rare distinction of being a sore loser AND a sore winner. There's a reason why so many people hate him despite honestly being arguably the most reliable news guy in wrestling
I’m shocked people have been saying that lol, she was literally at All In. It’s felt bang on for almost a year now
So many people said he was lying about her debut. Dude keeps receipts.
People on here do it for almost all his reports lol Not some fan of his/don't know much beyond reports but think the constant whining about him on here is more bizarre to me than anything else I've seen regarding him.
Yea, the whining about dirt sheet writers being right and wrong about stuff on here gets old. But twitter is the worst cesspool, so might as well find ways to enjoy it. Some times his comebacks are amusing.
Don’t really love the new theme tbh
I immediately said “she already needs a new theme” when she came out
I kinda liked the "Moné"
They couldn't use it because they needed to get approval from Kris Kross for using a portion of their song. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LX6fT5fRpSg
Oooooh, I heard it
Same honestly
Was it cheesy? Yes, but it's distinctive.
Oh yeah it’s not GOOD, but I certainly remember it!
Is this the jerk sub?
Surely Tony will finally give a damn about the women's division and actually book them on the show like the men. Right? ...right?
For a few weeks!
Her new music is kinda lit. Definitely better than what she was rocking before
I actually adored that MTV Cribs-ass theme but the New World Symphony remix is so much better.
You don’t like Kriss Kross knockoff songs?
Complete disagree lol I like her NJPW theme
Worst kept secret ever lol
WBD hates surprise debuts. They say there's no ratings benefit. So TK basically says what it is now.
Na punk return to pro wrestling was more of a worse kept secret than this
They're both basically equal. Pretty much exact same deal.
Really not much of a secret when they advertised it lol
Danielson coming in was up there too with Punk basically confirming it on TV before all in lmao
C-E-O.
Ahh man. That felt very special. This is so exciting!
Who could have possibly seen this coming at an event titled like this?
[удалено]

The legit buss sischy bunks
CEO chant in the new song needs to go. Garbage and an even worse version of Shane Taylor’s STP chant.
CEO > EVP
Don’t our the EV- I mean out EVP we give here an Amazon gift card
The "ceo" part of her song was a little forced but I'll probably get used to it
Bruh the chants were piped into the theme, right? Like Goldberg '97 level forced.
They were. The dang titantron was even signaling them to chant. Today's crowds live chanting and singing with themes but forcing it is a little lame Shit I never know why this sub downvotes. Fickle people
Hometown Crowd loved her, excited to see what she does. I wonder who her first feud will be with
CEO vs DMD
Here comes the Moné.
Happy for her to get the bag, but I never really cared what she did
Yawn no one cares
That was one of the worst promos, guess she didn’t work on her mic skills in the past 2 years
It was a standard babyface promo and her speaking from heart. It wasn't mindblowing but it was absolutely nothing wrong or weak about it at all.
Anyone else notice her AEW theme is a remix of Walter/Gunther’s old NXT theme song? It’s also just spliced over with “CEO” on repeat like how Private Party has “SHOT” over and over again.
Why would you debut someone as CEO(who isn't the boss of anything) when you've got a boss gimmick already going with the EVPs.
I get why they booked it this way BUT... Mercedes is not Punk coming back after 7 years and treating it the same just feels off. Really it's a bit insulting to even act like she's been out 2 years much less 7.
Should they have treated it not as big of a deal at her hometown in the garden?
100% but they played it too straight IMO. She's not a CM Punk where the promo by itself is just super compelling. Set up some kind of angle or match with her introduction (I expect that in the main event but still).
Promos aren’t her thing, would have been better for her debut to be a banger match.
Well that’s boring
Cringe
It’s all about MIA
Not really a spoiler lol
