One big thing: AEW star Mercedes Mone says she took the viral photo of Tony Khan and Shane McMahon

AEW’s Mercedes Mone seemingly took credit for the photograph of AEW owner Tony Khan and former WWE executive Shane McMahon that set the wrestling world abuzz.

• Mone tweeted: “lol I took that pic 🤑 #AEW”
• The photo confirmed a meeting between Khan and McMahon in Texas over the weekend
• It sparked speculation about a potential alliance between McMahon and AEW

Why it matters

The photo and Mone’s claim add fuel to ongoing rumors about Shane McMahon’s potential involvement with AEW, despite previous reports suggesting such an alliance was unlikely.

Context

• Mone has been linked to “AEW/Shane McMahon” rumors for the past month
• She reportedly had a chance encounter with McMahon at an airport after AEWxNJPW Forbidden Door

• Mone is preparing for a match against Baker at AEW All In

The bottom line

While Mone’s claim adds an intriguing twist to the Khan-McMahon photo saga, it’s unclear if she’s being serious or simply having fun with the situation.
