Jim Ross Admits He Hasn’t Felt the Connection with Mercedes Mone in AEW Yet

WWE Hall of Famer Jim Ross shared his honest thoughts on Mercedes Mone’s run in AEW on a recent episode of the Grilling JR podcast. While Mone has earned global recognition and boasts a strong fanbase, Ross admitted he hasn’t quite connected with her character during her time in AEW so far.

Mone, who has received mixed reactions on social media, is now being positioned as one of AEW’s top heels. However, Ross revealed that he’s still waiting to feel that spark from her performance.

“I still haven’t felt her connection yet,” Ross shared. “I know that she has a lot of popularity. I know that people around the world know who she is, but I haven’t felt it. Sometimes I think she’s a cool babyface and sometimes I think she’s a cool heel, but she’s pretty cool nonetheless.”

Despite her star power, Ross’ comments suggest that Mone’s character development may still be evolving as she transitions into her new role in AEW.

As Mercedes Mone continues to navigate her journey in AEW, only time will tell whether she fully connects with the fanbase and veterans like Jim Ross. Her evolution as one of AEW’s top stars is something that fans will no doubt be keeping a close eye on.
