Earlier in the week, a small mix-up occurred on social media when All Elite Wrestling (AEW) extended birthday wishes to Mercedes Mone, even though it wasn’t her birthday.
The oversight involved a case of mistaken identity. The AEW official account took to Twitter to wish Mercedes Mone a cheerful birthday when in reality, they meant to celebrate Mercedes Martinez. It’s interesting to note that Mone’s actual birthday isn’t until January 26th.
Reacting to the slip-up, Mone included a remark about the incident in the latest issue of her newsletter, “Mone Mag.” Not only did she share her thoughts on the unexpected birthday wishes, but she also took the opportunity to respond to a fan’s query on the topic of transgender individuals in the professional wrestling world.
Commenting on the mistaken birthday wish from AEW, Mone shared: “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!”
When responding to a fan’s question about the presence of trans individuals in wrestling, Mone advised: “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!”
