Mercedes Mone posted a new video to her official YouTube channel on Wednesday. 

The 90-second video features doing some in-ring training, running the ropes, and taking part in various drills. The description of the video on YouTube reads, “Mercedes Moné is back in the ring.” 

Mone hasn’t wrestled since suffering an ankle injury at NJPW Strong Resurgence on May 21. Willow Nightingale ended up winning the match and the NJPW Strong Women’s Championship that night when an audible was called after Mone suffered the injury. 

Earlier this month, Rocky Romero spoke to WrestlePurists about Mone and when she might be able to return. 

I honestly don’t have any update right now. I hope that I’ll be talking to her agent and her maybe soon-ish, but I honestly don’t have any update yet about anything. The last thing I had heard was that she was recovering well and basically they were going to let me know, reach out when she was getting close to a comeback. So, yeah. So I’m not really sure where we’re at.

Romero continued to say there is still communication between NJPW and Mone but he’s not sure what she will do when cleared to return.

There’s definitely still communication. And I mean obviously though, I don’t know what she’s going to want to do when she comes back for sure. Especially coming back from a serious injury, you know? And like that maybe messed up her timeframe of what she wanted to do and how she wanted to do it. So I really couldn’t say or speak for her, you know? I don’t think it would be fair.
