"A Real Beauty and the Beast Situation": Mercedes Moné Confirms Relationship with AEW's The Beast Mortos

In a revelation that has set the wrestling world abuzz, reigning AEW TBS Champion Mercedes Moné has confirmed she is in a relationship with fellow All Elite Wrestling star, The Beast Mortos. The news broke following an intriguing Instagram story posted by Mortos, hinting at a romantic connection.

Speculation reached a fever pitch when The Beast Mortos shared a photo of himself and Moné on his Instagram story, accompanied by the tender caption "en tus brazos encuentro paz," which translates to "In your arms, I find peace."The post quickly circulated among fans, leading to widespread conjecture about the nature of their relationship.

Confirming the rumors, Mercedes Moné herself spoke to TMZ Sports, playfully describing the pairing as "a real beauty and the beast situation."While the exact timeline of their relationship remains under wraps, this marks Moné's first public relationship since her divorce from Sarath Ton was finalized last year. Moné had previously revealed that she and Ton had been separated for years, maintaining an amicable relationship throughout.

The "Beauty and the Beast" moniker is particularly fitting, not only for the obvious contrasting appearances of the glamorous Moné and the masked, imposing Mortos, but also for the intriguing layers of Mortos's life outside the ring. Beyond his powerful presence in AEW, Mortos, also known by his former ring name Black Taurus, is a man of diverse talents. Reports indicate he is a former veterinarian and nurse, and is currently on the path to becoming a licensed lawyer, having recently passed his bar exams.

Both Mercedes Moné and The Beast Mortos are prominent figures within AEW. Moné has enjoyed considerable success since joining the promotion, currently holding the TBS Championship, and also boasting the RevPro Undisputed British Women's Championship and the EWA Women's Championship. Mortos is a member of the formidable La Faccion Ingobernable and also wrestles for AEW's sister company, Ring of Honor (ROH).

The confirmation of their relationship has been met with excitement and well wishes from fans across social media. As this new chapter unfolds for both Mercedes Moné and The Beast Mortos, the wrestling community will undoubtedly be watching with keen interest, eager to see how this "Beauty and the Beast" story continues to develop, both inside and outside the squared circle.
