Mercedes Mone & The Beast Mortos confirm relationship

A new pro wrestling couple was revealed today with AEW stars Mercedes Mone and The Beast Mortos confirming that they are dating.

After Mortos shared a photo with Mone on Instagram, the TBS Champion confirmed their relationship to TMZ Sports, joking that it’s “a real beauty and the beast situation.” The two are in Mexico this week ahead of AEW’s Grand Slam Mexico edition of Dynamite, where Mone will challenge Zeuxis for the CMLL Women’s Championship.

Mortos captioned his Instagram post with “En tus brazos encuentro paz” — which translates to “In your arms I find peace.”

Mone was previously married to Sarath Ton — a costume designer for WWE and former pro wrestler — but their divorce was finalized in 2024.

Prior to joining AEW, Mortos wrestled under the name Black Taurus. He is pursuing a legal career in addition to wrestling and is only a few months away from becoming a lawyer.

Dynamite is taking place at Arena Mexico this Wednesday night. If Mone defeats Zeuxis, she’ll add another belt to her collection in advance of challenging Toni Storm for the AEW Women’s World Championship at All In on July 12.
