Earlier this week, AEW mistakenly wished Mercedes Mone a happy birthday on social media.
Taking to Twitter, the official AEW account wished Mone a happy birthday instead of Mercedes Martinez. Mone’s birthday is January 26th.
During the latest edition of her “Mone Mag” newsletter, Mone commented on the flub.
Additionally, she gave some advice to a fan asking her about trans people in wrestling.
On AEW wishing her a happy birthday “early”: “This week started with a hilarious surprise! I woke up to a flood of birthday messages and was completely confused. Turns out, AEW had posted a happy birthday shoutout for me! For a moment, I felt like I’d slipped into a multiverse—was it really my birthday? I was so tired that I had to double-check Twitter to make sure. Once I figured it out, I couldn’t help but laugh. It was such a fun and unexpected way to start the day!”
On a fan asking her about trans people in wrestling: “Hi Dylan Hi there! Yes, there are definitely trans people in wrestling, and it’s such a beautiful time to pursue your dreams! Just remember to be yourself and keep chasing what you love. I believe in you!”
