AEW star Mercedes Mone is having an amazing year. She is the reigning TBS Champion and holds the RevPro Undisputed British Women’s Championship. Additionally, she won the 2025 Women’s Owen Hart Foundation Tournament, making her the number one contender for Toni Storm’s AEW Women’s World Title. The two women will wage war at All In.
Long-time fans of Mercedes Mone are aware of her affection towards deceased WWE legend Eddie Guerrero. Throughout her career, she has paid him homage several times. Interestingly, on this week’s Dynamite, she paid tribute to the former WWE Champion by showing up at the venue in a lowrider. Guerrero loved lowriders as he was often seen riding them. Furthermore, after the show, the CEO posted some pictures of her before a stunning Eddie Guerrero mural.
“Viva la Raza,” read the photos’ caption.
Guerrero passed away in 2005, aged 38. At the time of his death, Mone was only a teenager.
According to Mercedes Mone, Eddie Guerrero was a beacon of hope
In December 2024, the former Sasha Banks posted a touching tribute to the Latino Heat on her official website. She called Guerrero an extraordinary individual and wrote that he inspired her to dedicate her life to professional wrestling.
“As I reflect on my journey in the world of professional wrestling, I can’t help but feel an overwhelming sense of gratitude for one extraordinary individual: Eddie Guerrero. It’s been years since he left this world, yet his influence continues to ripple through countless wrestlers and fans’ lives. Eddie was more than just a wrestler; he was a beacon of hope, an embodiment of passion, and a source of inspiration that ignited the spark within me when I was just a 10-year-old girl dreaming of greatness,” read her statement.
