Mercedes Moné has frequently faced fan pleas to return to WWE, but she recently addressed these rumors directly with a clear response regarding her current status. On social media, she emphasized her commitment to AEW, making it clear where her wrestling focus lies now. The Mercedes Moné AEW wrestling response came after a fan expressed nostalgia for her WWE days and mentioned AJ Lee as a favorite wrestler.
Moné built her career over more than ten years with WWE, based in Stamford, before a short stint in NJPW and signing with AEW. Since joining AEW, she has enjoyed a dominant streak, losing only once in singles matches to Toni Storm. Her accolades include nine championship titles from prominent wrestling promotions worldwide, underscoring her success outside WWE.
During a recent Instagram post showing her training highlights, a fan stated that they missed her and admired both her and AJ Lee. Moné’s reply was direct and left no room for speculation.
“You can watch me in Aew”
Moné replied.
Interest in a matchup with AJ Lee tied to championship consequences
After AJ Lee’s recent WWE return, fans have hoped for possible matchups featuring major stars from the previous decade, including Paige and Sasha Banks. Speculation about Mercedes Moné returning to WWE to face AJ Lee grew, but Moné addressed these hopes with skepticism focused on titles rather than nostalgia.
On X (formerly Twitter), a fan asked Moné if she might come back to WWE to wrestle AJ Lee. Her brief reply focused sharply on championship status instead of a dream match scenario.
“Does she have a title?” the CEO asked.
This exchange suggests that Moné prioritizes competing for championship belts over participating in dream matches without tangible stakes. Since WWE titles are out of reach for her, her pursuit of further accomplishments will likely remain within AEW or other organizations.
What Moné’s stance means for her wrestling career and fans
Mercedes Moné’s clear rejection of WWE return rumors confirms her dedication to AEW wrestling, signaling that she sees her future outside the promotion where she made her name. Fans hoping for dream matches involving WWE legends may need to temper expectations as her focus appears more practical and achievement-oriented.
Given her record and ongoing championship success, Moné’s approach reflects a desire to build legacy through title wins rather than nostalgia-driven bouts. As AEW continues to grow, she is positioned to be a major star within that landscape, maintaining high visibility and competitive relevance.
