AEW Champions Reveal Their Relationship Amid Fan Speculation
The AEW TBS Champion Mercedes Moné made headlines by confirming her relationship with fellow wrestler The Beast Mortos. The revelation comes after fans noticed a series of suggestive social media posts culminating in Mortos sharing a photo with the caption,
“In your arms I find peace.”
—The Beast Mortos, AEW Performer. This public display prompted questions about whether Moné and Mortos were more than just colleagues in the ring.
Moné directly addressed the rumors when reached by TMZ Sports, telling them,
“It’s a real beauty and the beast situation,”
—Mercedes Moné, AEW TBS Champion. Her comment playfully referenced their different wrestling personas, highlighting the dynamic that fans have admired recently.
Background: Timing and Personal Journey
Details on how long the relationship has existed remain private. However, this marks Moné’s first relationship to be acknowledged publicly since her divorce from Sarath Ton, also known as Mikaze, after an eight-year marriage. In August 2024, Moné shared in a video that the separation had occurred some time ago and emphasized there was no animosity between her and Ton.
Success in and out of the Ring for Moné and Mortos
Currently, both Moné and Mortos are prominent on the AEW roster. Moné’s record this year includes holding the AEW TBS Championship, RevPro Undisputed British Women’s Championship, and EWA Women’s Championship simultaneously. She is also scheduled to defend her AEW Women’s World Championship title at the upcoming All In: Texas event, marking a significant milestone in her career.
The Beast Mortos is distinguished not only for his technical wrestling talent but also for his diverse experience outside the ring. Known as one of the most technically skilled performers on AEW Collision, Mortos previously worked as a veterinarian and a nurse, and he is reportedly four months away from earning a law license. These achievements contribute to his unique profile among wrestling performers.

With major matches and possible championship defenses looming, fans will be watching both Moné and Mortos closely as they navigate their relationship and professional achievements in the spotlight.
