Mercedes Mone Recalls Playfully Confronting Vince McMahon And Getting Him To Admit He Was Wrong

Mercedes Mone previously stated she was going to watch the Vince McMahon docuseries on Netflix with a blunt and wine. 

The series has been out just over a week, and Mercedes has seen all six episodes. 

“On to the big white elephant in the room, as in the big Vince McMahon Netflix documentary, as I said last week, I couldn’t wait to watch. Watching all six episodes, honestly, I was a little disappointed and didn’t feel like there was too much new for me. I’ll say this, as I watched, I couldn’t believe that I got to work for Vince, what a crazy genius he is, and how he really elevated wrestling to a whole stratosphere. He created a universe fans have enjoyed for decades and still do. He made wrestling larger than life. He did it all, and he tried it all. And he failed so many times, too. Where the business is at today is all because of him and his ideas. And that’s what I really liked it,” she wrote in the Mone Mag

Mercedes did share a behind the scenes story about Vince, and how he admitted he was wrong. 

“This should probably be a Moné Memory, but while we’re on the subject of TV tapings, behind the scenes, and Vince McMahon, I remember one time I had a storyline and match with Nia Jax. During the match, Vince accidentally called over the headset for the referee to ring the bell. And it was way too early. We were confused, but we played along.

When I got backstage, I remember going to Triple H and being like, what the hell just happened? Triple H explained it was an accident and, playfully, told me to go and confront Vince. So I did. Vince admitted he was wrong and then shared a laugh about it.”

Mercedes left WWE in May 2022 after a reported disagreement with McMahon. 

Mercedes said she left because she didn’t like the way “The Chairman” was talking to her. You can find her full comments by clicking here
