TBS Champion Mercedes Mone isnt just leaning into her heel personashes owning it. Ahead of her upcoming title defense against Billie Starkz on AEW Dynamite, Mone made it very clear that she has no sympathy for childhood dreams.
Taking to Twitter/X on March 18, Mone responded to a fan post highlighting Starkzs long-time admiration for her, including childhood photos of Starkz meeting her at an autograph signing. Rather than acknowledge the sentimental full-circle moment, Mone coldly shut it down: I love making kids cry! Time to send her back to her minion mommy.
If anyone thought Mone would show an ounce of respect to Starkz, this response put an end to that. The TBS Champion has been on a ruthless streak since arriving in AEW, and now shes looking to crush the dreams of a fan-turned-opponent.
The match, set for March 19 at the AEW Dynamite and Collision tapings, will see Starkz step up to the woman she once idolized. But with Mone making it clear she enjoys breaking spirits, the question iscan Starkz handle the pressure, or is she just another stepping stone in Mones dominant run?
Is Mercedes Mone taking her heel persona too far, or is she playing the game perfectly? Drop your thoughts in the comments!
