Mercedes Moné isn’t holding back—especially when it comes to fans still begging for her to return to WWE, as she just reminded a fan they can continue to watch her in AEW.
The CEO of AEW responded directly to a passionate Instagram comment from a fan devastated that she didn’t appear at this year’s Royal Rumble. The fan poured their heart out, writing a lengthy message expressing anger and heartbreak over Mercedes’ absence from the match and practically begged her to come back to WWE.
“i was waiting for you in this royal rumble… and instead, nothing. seeing other spots wasted while you weren’t there hurts, it makes me angry, it’s just awful. we expected to get hyped, to witness incredible moments, and instead it was all empty without you. the fans want you, i want to see you come back. this isn’t just nostalgia, it’s all the love and passion you’ve always inspired. stop staying in the shadows, stop these unfair absences… come back, do it for us, do it for everyone who has believed in you for years. we miss you too much, and every royal rumble without you proves it.💔”
Mercedes didn’t let it slide. She replied directly, brushing off the dramatic request with an apt response, as she just told the fan they can watch her on AEW television: “@wtfnikolas you can watch me on AEW 🤑🥰”
That one-line response says it all. Moné, who’s made it clear in past interviews and livestreams that she’s fully committed to AEW, has little patience for fans still clinging to her WWE past. Back in October 2025, she addressed the same issue during an Instagram Live:
“For the love of all of my fans, please don’t start asking me when I’m coming back to ‘you know where.’ I’m in a good mood, I’m in a good place. I’m tired of that question.”
After walking away from WWE, Mercedes nearly stepped away from wrestling entirely—but instead, she rebuilt herself into a megastar, calling herself “the highest-paid woman in the business.” She’s now positioned as one of AEW’s top stars, and she’s made it clear her future is nowhere near Stamford.
Fans may still miss her in WWE, especially around Royal Rumble season, but Mercedes Moné isn’t looking back—and she’s not sugarcoating it either.
Do you respect Mercedes Moné for staying loyal to AEW—or do you think there’s still unfinished business for her in WWE? Let us know your take in the comments.
