Mercedes Mon is finally responding to the backlash surrounding her $99.99-per-month texting serviceand shes doing it without saying a word.
The AEW TBS Champion has been under fire since launching a private messaging platform via her official website, offering fans exclusive, one-on-one, personal, and private access. The deal includes a number said to be reserved only for her biggest supporters. But fans immediately torched the concept online, calling it a cash grab and accusing Mon of using a botor worse, someone else entirelyto run the account.
On May 5, 2025, Mon seemed to hit back at those accusations. She posted a photo of herself backstage, smiling while staring at her phonesubtle but pointed. The move came after days of criticism, with one X user posting, Yall do know that wont be her texting lol. Cmon now. Another wrote, So many dummies gonna pay and think she herself is actually replying. Whole time its an AI bot, or some dude overseas.
The hate didnt stop there. Just when you think she couldnt get more annoying, one fan wrote. Another added, Absolutely fucking not, when asked if theyd ever pay for the texting access.
Some fans mocked the idea entirely. One sarcastic post read, If you believe that youll be talking to her, Im an Indonesian prince that has a million dollars I want to give you just drop your account and routing number below.
Others took aim at her wrestling ability, calling her overrated and mid card at best, while one fan simply said, She is awful on the mic.
Despite the outrage, a few fans did defend Mons right to get her bag. One wrote, All for her getting her bag but I hope she is doing this in the safest way possible, theres a lot of weirdos in this world. And even her critics admitted it was better than the alternative, with one person joking, Love @MercedesVarnado but come on but its better than OnlyFans.
Whether the smirking phone photo was meant as confirmation that Mon is behind the textsor just trollingone things for sure: shes well aware of whats being said. And she doesnt seem bothered one bit.
