The Beast Mortos isnt slowing downand neither is AEW when it comes to giving him the spotlight.
Less than two weeks after news broke confirming his relationship with AEW TBS Champion Mercedes Mon, Mortos is once again finding himself in the middle of major matches, and the timing has people raising eyebrows.
It all started when Mortos replaced Claudio Castagnoli in the AEW Grand Slam: Mexico main event, teaming with The Death Riders and The Young Bucks against a stacked lineup featuring Will Ospreay, Swerve Strickland, Samoa Joe, Powerhouse Hobbs, and Katsuyori Shibata. The change came right before showtime, with no official explanationbut it didnt go unnoticed.
That same week, TMZ confirmed Mortos and Mon are officially dating, after Mortos posted a viral Instagram Story showing Mon smiling next to him. His face was partially hidden, but his caption made the message crystal clear.
He paired the post with the Spanish love song El amor de su vida translating to The love of his life. Mon later addressed the rumors herself, telling TMZ:
For Mon, its her first public relationship since splitting from Sarath Ton, a breakup she confirmed happened nearly a year ago after their separation in late 2020.
Now Mortos is back in the spotlight again, and the timing couldnt be more interesting. Just over an hour before the June 25 episode of AEW Dynamite went live, Tony Khan took to Twitter to announce Mortos would face former World Champion Hangman Adam Page live on the show. Mortos hasnt exactly been known for landing high-profile singles matchesuntil the Mercedes Mon headlines started circulating.
AEW hasnt officially tied Mortos recent push to his relationship with Mon, but fans online are connecting the dots. Mortos mysterious persona and real-life storya former vet tech, nurse, and soon-to-be lawyeronly add fuel to the curiosity surrounding him.
And with Mon holding major titles across AEW, RevPro, and EWA, its hard to ignore how fast Mortos is climbing the ladderboth professionally and personally.
