"Bro, you're married" - Fans surprised as top AEW star seemingly has a crush on Mercedes Mone

The 250th episode of AEW Dynamite last night didn't just give fans noteworthy in-ring moments but also fascinating backstage segments. One of them was the interaction between The Elite and Mercedes Moné.

At Dynamite 250, The Young Bucks and Kazuchika Okada were backstage delivering a promo. Nick Jackson expressed his displeasure towards The Acclaimed for what the latter said about them previously. Furthermore, Matthew Jackson spoke highly of The Elite members: TNT Champion Jack Perry and “Hangman” Adam Page.

During this segment, reigning NJPW Strong Women's Champion and AEW TBS Champion Mercedes Moné stumbled into them. The CEO thanked The Young Bucks for banning her rival Britt Baker from backstage.

Okada then whispered something in Matthew's ears, and the latter informed Moné that the AEW Continental Champion wanted to see the erstwhile Sasha Banks do her "CEO" dance.

Moné danced and left, and Okada's reaction to it was hilarious. He was seemingly flustered and was heard saying:

"You're so hot!"

Okada's hilarious reaction to Moné's dance has seen a barrage of reactions on Twitter (X) from popular wrestling accounts and fans.

AEW Continental Champion Kazuchika Okada's career achievements

Even though Kazuchika Okada is having a decent run in the Tony Khan-led company, he is best known for his time in New Japan Pro Wrestling (NJPW) and TNA.

In NJPW, he won the IWGP World Heavyweight Championship twice, the IWGP Heavyweight Championship five times, the NEVER Openweight Six-Man Tag Team Title once, the G1 Climax four times, and the New Japan Cup once. Furthermore, over the years, he faced top names such as Kenny Omega, Hiroshi Tanahashi, Tetsuya Naito, and more.

The 36-year-old made his AEW debut as a signed talent earlier this year. The Rainmaker claimed the Continental Title by defeating Eddie Kingston in March 2024. Okada suffered a defeat via a DQ at the hands of Swerve Strickland last night after The Young Bucks attacked the reigning world champion during the match to kick off a brawl.
