“Blatantly copying Mercedes' gimmick”- Fans react to WWE legends winning another title outside the company

Top WWE legends have just won another major title, adding to their current collection. Fans have reacted to this with some believing that they were going down the same route as Mercedes Moné and her collection of titles.

Earlier today, the Hardy Boyz won the HOG Tag Team titles after defeating The Mane Event during the promotion's With Glory Comes Pride pay-per-view. This was not their first time winning the belts, as they captured them back in 2016. This is now just one of the four tag team titles they are currently holding.

A few days ago, during the rest Showdown between WWE NXT and TNA, Matt and Jeff Hardy ended up victorious against DarkState in a Winner Takes All tag team match. They now hold the titles from both companies. The legendary duo is also holding the 4th Rope Tag Team Championships.

Fans have reacted to this and believed that the Hardys were starting off a belt collection of their own, similar to Mercedes Moné. They believed that they were trying to be like her and grab as many tag team belts as they could.

One fan suggested that they can go after the AEW and NWA tag team titles next. Another mentioned how they were like the Moné of tag team wrestling.

The WWE legends are far from Mercedes Moné's record

Currently, the Hardy Boyz are holding 4 belts, from WWE NXT, TNA, HOG, and 4th Rope. In the case that they are trying to go the same path as the CEO, they need to do a little bit more to reach their record.

Earlier today, Mercedes Moné captured the BODYSLAM Women's Championship, winning her 10th belt. She has won yet another title outside the United States.

Say Hello to 10 belts Moné 🤑🤑🤑🤑🤑

Mercedes has equalized Ultimo Dragon's record of holding 10 belts simultaneously. She doesn't seem to be satisfied with this, and could look to beat this sometime soon.

Growing up, Enzo admired former world champions like AJ Styles, Will Ospreay, Bryan Danielson, Triple H, and Randy Orton for their finishing moves. As an adult, he started to appreciate their character work, as they juggled between heel and babyface gimmicks.

If allowed to produce one final storyline involving his idols, he would have Orton lock horns with John Cena, would be their one last big feud as both of them seem to be approaching the tail end of their careers.
