Where did Harley Cameron’s puppet idea originate?
Let’s find out!
The AEW women’s competitor appeared as a guest on Chris Jericho’s “Talk Is Jericho” podcast for an interview, during which she revealed that it was actually Mercedes Mone’s idea after seeing a skit she shared online.
“I posted a thing on Twitter being like, ‘Me and Earl are doing Cameo.’ I guess everyone at work was like, ‘You’re a puppeteer?’ It was Mercedes’ idea,” she said. “I still remember when we spoke about it and she was like, ‘Could you ever do a puppet of me?'”
Cameron continued, “It’s so funny she said it because the moment she said it, I was like, ‘No shit, I was literally thinking about doing this.’ I actually made the puppet. I bought the puppet base, but the hair and outfit, I have to give a shoutout to Chris, the seamstress here, he’s fantastic, he made the gear. I gave some of my old gear to him and he made her gear. We created Mini Mone ourselves and the people love it.”
