Outside the ring, AEW Women’s World Champion Mercedes Mone has been having a rough time. The star took her to him Monet Mag Newsletter to reveal that he lost his younger sister, Alexis, in September.
Mone said that his sister left behind two young children. Monae grieved, writing that she wished she had more time with him and that Alexis’ children had more time with their mother.
“One memory I keep thinking about is when we went to WrestleMania Atlanta together when we were little,” Monet wrote. “Wrestling has been a huge part of my life and I love that I have that memory with my sister before many of my dreams come true.”
Monae explained that while she was still grieving the loss, the AEW locker room suffered the loss of Pakreal name: Benjamin Satterly, age 40, then AEW All Out. Mone, who worked with Pac when he was known as Neville in WWE NXT, said he knew the star from his FCW days.
He wrote that when he thinks of Pac, he doesn’t just think of his ability that everyone saw, but of the memories they shared playing games of UpUpDownDown and listening to Sami Zayn’s stories on road trips. The star also wrote AEW Dynamite Tribute Show Pacwhere he wrestled six women with darts.
“When you know someone that long, you don’t realize how many little pieces of your life they are until they’re gone,” she said. “The memorial tribute was absolutely beautiful, but the whole show was emotionally difficult for me. I knew I had to be a part of it. I had no idea I would be behind the scenes. Wrestling was something that PAC and I shared for so many years, and being in the ring felt like I had to honor him.”
