Mercedes Mone is not happy.
Several weeks ago, the AEW Women’s World Champion notably called out the TBS Champion. Mariah May took shots at Mercedes for not stepping up and helping out the other girls in the AEW locker room. It’s been highlighted that Mone signed a seven-figure deal with AEW that included notable perks such as her own private locker room.
Based on May’s comments, it wasn’t clear if it was kayfabe or a surprising shoot. Mariah May is currently busy with Thunder Rosa. Mercedes Mone is dealing with Anna Jay and Kris Statlander. A champion vs. champion match could happen in the future and easily play off the comments of both women.
Mone has finally responded in her MonéMag to Mariah’s statement on Renee’s Close-Up with Renee Paquette and the 32-year-old didn’t hold back on her response:
“Oh, speaking of Mariah, let’s spill some tea! She’s just one of the many trying to hitch a ride on the Mercedes Moné hype train! You know how it is—when you’re not in the spotlight as much, you start throwing names around like confetti. But let’s be real, the one name that makes everyone’s ears perk up? Yep, that’s right, it’s mine!
“I mean, come on, I’m used to this! It’s not like I haven’t seen this movie before. If I spent my time responding to every little comment or side-eye, I’d have zero time left for my fabulous CEO life! Everyone wants to talk about me, tweet about me, and hop on the Moné Express. It’s flattering, really!
“And Mariah May, sweetie, I still remember you as that fan girl promoting wrestling shirts, dreaming of just getting a taste of the spotlight. Well, guess what? I’m hiring for a shop girl over at MercedesMone.com! So, if you want to level up your game, slide on over! But let’s keep it real—you’ve gotta bring more than just a dream to the table.”
This mini-feud has been going somewhere, right? Again, this could all be real and these two genuinely don’t like each other, but Mone’s response felt more of a wrestling based response than a real one. We’ll see where this goes, but these ladies have bigger fish to fry.
Mercedes is coming off herTBS Championship win over Anna Jay this past Wednesday. May will defend her Women’s World Title against Thunder Rosa in a Tijuana Street Fight on December 28th At World’s End.
