The Beast Mortos thanks Tony Khan & Salvador Lutteroth for AEW Grand Slam Mexico appearance

The Beast Mortos thanked the owners of CMLL and AEW for his Mexico City appearance.

On Instagram, Mortos thanked both Salvador Lutteroth III and Tony Khan for his last minute appearance at AEW Grand Slam Mexico, saying it was the first time he’s stepped into the arena in 14 years.

“I can’t find the words to describe how blessed I am because last Wednesday something unexpected came into my life and my professional career. I stepped foot in the cathedral of wrestling again after 14 years, where this wonderful dream began. Not only that, I had the opportunity for my family (my mother, nephews, and my son) to see me for the first time in my career at a big event and in an arena like the Mexico City Arena,” he wrote.

“I also want to thank @tonyrkhan and Mr. Salvador Lutterot for the opportunity to make this possible and for this dream to continue,” he continued. “I also want to thank my special person who came into my life as a beautiful blessing and who was also there to support me. And of course, I’m grateful to all the fans who are always there supporting me. And above all, I’m grateful to God. Ecclesiastes 3:1.”

The “special person” may possibly be a reference to Mercedes Mone. The two made their relationship public last week.

Mortos filled in for Claudio Castagnoli, teaming with the Death Riders (Jon Moxley & Wheeler Yuta) and The Young Bucks to defeat The Opps, Swerve Strickland, and Will Ospreay.
