Mercedes Moné Says She Would’ve Slapped the Kid Who Flipped Off Chris Jericho on AEW Collision

Mercedes Moné is never one to hold back—and now she’s chimed in on the wild ringside chaos that never made it to air during AEW Collision: Slam Dunk Sunday.

On March 24, AEW posted bonus footage from the March 23 broadcast, showing a hilarious and unexpected face-off between Chris Jericho and a young fan in the front row. The clip, which didn’t make the televised cut, shows Jericho yelling at the kid after he was flipped off. “Do that again, I dare you,” Jericho said. The kid didn’t hesitate—he flipped Jericho off again.

Jericho, clearly stunned, walked over and told the kid, “You don’t even know what that means.” The kid fired back with “Yes I do,” before Jericho threatened to “ground [him] and send [him] to [his] room.” That’s when things went nuclear—the kid replied, “F** you.”* And if that wasn’t enough, a little girl nearby mock-laughed right in Jericho’s face.

The clip has been blowing up on AEW’s social media—but the real kicker came when Mercedes Moné jumped in with her own reaction. Quote-tweeting the footage, the TBS Champion wrote, “I would’ve slapped that kid!”

Needless to say, Moné’s comment added gasoline to an already viral moment, sparking debates online about the limits of fan interaction—especially when it involves kids going full heel at ringside.
