WWE Hall of Famer Jim Ross shared his honest thoughts on Mercedes Mones run in AEW on a recent episode of the Grilling JR podcast. While Mone has earned global recognition and boasts a strong fanbase, Ross admitted he hasnt quite connected with her character during her time in AEW so far.
Mone, who has received mixed reactions on social media, is now being positioned as one of AEWs top heels. However, Ross revealed that hes still waiting to feel that spark from her performance.
I still havent felt her connection yet, Ross shared. I know that she has a lot of popularity. I know that people around the world know who she is, but I havent felt it. Sometimes I think shes a cool babyface and sometimes I think shes a cool heel, but shes pretty cool nonetheless.
Despite her star power, Ross comments suggest that Mones character development may still be evolving as she transitions into her new role in AEW.
As Mercedes Mone continues to navigate her journey in AEW, only time will tell whether she fully connects with the fanbase and veterans like Jim Ross. Her evolution as one of AEWs top stars is something that fans will no doubt be keeping a close eye on.
