In the latest Mercedes Moné AEW news, her partner The Beast Mortos has achieved a significant milestone outside the wrestling world, having recently secured a new position in the legal field. The development follows his graduation from law school, marking a turning point in his diverse career.
The Beast Mortos Begins a Legal Career
The Beast Mortos, known to fans as a luchador in AEW, has demonstrated versatility far beyond the wrestling ring. While he is currently active as a wrestler, he has previously worked as a veterinarian and a nurse. More recently, his focus has shifted to law, leading to his recent graduation and official qualification as a lawyer outside the United States.
Mark Sterling, a recognized name in wrestling and a practicing lawyer, has publicly offered Mortos a position in his law firm. Sterling explained that Mortos is not yet certified to practice law in America but extended an invitation for him to join the team as a paralegal, emphasizing the opportunity to learn from someone deeply experienced in the business.
“I would like to offer you a position in the Law Offices of Mark Sterling as a paralegal. You are not yet a LAYWER in AMERICA where it matters…but I’m willing to let you learn under the best in the biz! (You must not wear mask at work it will scare Delores in accounting.)”
Sterling wrote.
This offer, blending elements of wrestling storytelling and real-world credentials, is notable because Sterling holds multiple degrees and is a licensed attorney, making the opportunity both genuine and in line with AEW’s unique kayfabe approach.
Mercedes Moné Attends Mortos’ Graduation
Mercedes Moné, often called the CEO within wrestling circles, has been facing a challenging period in AEW. She recently lost her TBS Championship to Willow Nightingale, ending her title reign after 584 days. Previously, Moné also missed out on both the women’s world title and tag team championships, prompting her decision to take a temporary hiatus from competition.
Amid her break from wrestling, Moné appeared at Beast Mortos’ graduation ceremony, celebrating this achievement with him and his family. Images shared on social media captured Moné at the event, showing support and highlighting their shared moments during this new chapter of Mortos’ life.
The next steps for both Mortos and Moné remain highly anticipated within the company. Moné’s absence is expected to have an effect on her AEW presence, but her determination to return stronger could lead to a renewed and possibly even more dominant run when she re-enters the ring.
What This Means for AEW and Their Futures
This recent blend of personal accomplishments and professional changes reflects the ongoing evolution of AEW’s superstars, with figures like Mercedes Moné and The Beast Mortos showcasing lives that extend beyond wrestling. Mark Sterling’s offer attaches real-world prestige and opportunity to Mortos’ career, while Moné’s ongoing journey could impact the direction and intensity of AEW’s women’s division once she returns. Fans and industry watchers alike will be watching for how these developments shape their careers and the broader AEW landscape moving forward.
