Mercedes Mone is one of those very few top wrestlers from the current landscape of professional wrestling who barely gives an update on her personal life. Many would doubt her marital status provided that she never opened up about her husband in public or be seen with him. Now, it appears that the duo has already grown apart.
Meanwhile, Mercedes Mone has since elevated herself on the professional side as she signed up with the All Elite Wrestling promotion, earlier this year. At present, she is the reigning TBS Women’s Champion & NJPW STRONG Women’s Champion who will defend the prior title at All In 2024.
