In her latest weekly newsletter, TBS and NJPW Strong Women’s
champion Mercedes Mone wrote how she should have kept her
mouth shut about a collaboration with Megan Thee Stallion
after WWE pounced and got her song as the new Smackdown
theme.

Mone said that a few weeks ago during an interview she made
the mistake of spilling the beans of working with Megan Thee
Stallion. The two met in Japan earlier this year and agreed
to do a collaboration in AEW.

“More recently, it was announced that Meg would be part of
the new Smackdown theme. It could all be a coincidence, of
course. But then, they don’t call me the blueprint for
nothing,” Mone wrote. “In hindsight, I should have kept my
mouth shut about it but all you can do is live and learn.”

Smackdown’s premiere on USA Network opened with a brand new
theme song titled Neva Play, a song performed by Stallion
featuring South Korean rapper RM of the popular group BTS.
