Mercedes Mone is someone who has never shied away from controversy or speaking her mind. In recent memory,
she expressed concern about AEW’s more over the top angles. This was something that
Thunder Rosa clapped back at. It appears that Mone may have a few more issues in the company.
After debuting for AEW, Mercedes Mone was labeled as
the company’s biggest failure. There were also stories that she was
difficult to work with in WWE.
Ringside News was told that Mercedes Mone is receiving special treatment backstage at AEW events, which may be causing friction within the locker room. Reportedly, Mone is accompanied by her own entourage at every show and has her
own private locker room, a perk not extended to the rest of the roster. This preferential treatment appears to have rubbed some of her colleagues the wrong way.
One of the most notable tensions backstage involves Britt Baker, who is said to have multiple issues behind the scenes, with Mercedes Mone being a major source of frustration. Additionally, it’s been reported that Saraya has made her feelings about Mone clear, expressing her dislike for the former WWE star to others backstage.
Sources suggest that backstage drama at AEW has become a regular occurrence, with conflicts between talent arising nearly every week. While not every issue becomes public, it’s evident that tensions are simmering behind the scenes, and the drama shows no signs of disappearing anytime soon.

Mercedes Mone expressed mixed feelings about AEW’s use of extreme matches. While she acknowledges that AEW caters to fans who enjoy hardcore wrestling, she worries that such content might turn away younger viewers, particularly children.
While speaking on
Busted Open Radio, Thunder Rosa defended AEW’s usage of violent matches as she addressed Mone’s remarks. Rosa noted that her own career was significantly shaped by participating in various hardcore matches, including a Lights Out match, cage match, street fights, and a Texas Bullrope match. Rosa explained that professional wrestling often involves pushing boundaries, and while not everyone enjoys extreme matches, it’s a part of AEW’s approach to the sport.
“One of the reasons why I cemented my career was with a hardcore match, a Lights Out match. Then I did the cage match, which was brutal. I’ve done street fights, and then I did the Texas Bullrope match where I was a bloody mess. There’s levels of violence or brutality in professional wrestling and some of it, they push the envelope every time they’re doing things,” Rosa said. “I mean, people have the right to feel the way that they feel, especially when it comes to these kinds of matches. And it’s not everybody’s cup of tea. And you can’t criticize fans for feeling that way, but you know that in AEW, we push the envelope. We have pushed the envelope a lot.”
