Even the Royal Rumble was not an activity of Mercedes Mone, and her name was mentioned in the news all weekend long. The ex-WWE celebrity, due to her previous career in WWE, was targeted by a new trending topic after fans discovered that she was not featured in the Women Royal Rumble show in Riyadh Saudi Arabia. Mone was present in the first premium live event of the year in WWE despite the fact that he was not in the ring because the whole social media touched him.
Mercedes Moné’s AEW Rise
Since his arrival in AEW, Mone has been among the biggest attractions in the promotion in 2024. She had ascended rapidly and easily. She was the top-liner, a donor of sold out arenas and one of the longest serving artists in the history of the company. Mone won the title of TBS Champion, a record of 584 days and this performance propelled her to her stardom and restored the title. By the year 2025 she was already winning championships in several different promotions as she became one of the most influential wrestlers of that time.

Moné Response Goes Viral
The 2026 Royal Rumble had a number of surprises. The winner of Women Rumble is Liv Morgan and even Brie Bella and Tiffany Stratton made an unexpected appearance. Despite that, there are still a good number of fans waiting until Mone would come with his music. One of her fans asked her on Instagram at some point how come she failed to turn up. Mone responded with just a statement that in case they wanted to watch her fight, they could do it in AEW. The comment quickly went viral and contributed to the discussion that was taking place.
Moné Explains WWE Exit
This was in response to the announcement of her taking a break in wrestling in the public by Mone a few days earlier. She claimed that she was tired of the negativity and needed to get away with the heavy load and the celebrity life. The message that she delivered at the Royal Rumble weekend was not supposed to be controversial. Instead it was a wake-up call to the fact that her professional attention is no longer related to WWE.
This was yet another milestone that Mone made even as she drove away. Pro Wrestling Illustrated has called her the 2025 Woman of the Year. The award put her in the select few women who are being referred to in the award more than once. Mone was not alone to the fans on X either, because she was also proud of the achievement and her way.
