A former WWE star who worked with the promotion for several years revealed an interesting story involving Triple H and Vince McMahon. She is now a top star in AEW.

Mercedes Mone made a name for herself in WWE where she wrestled as Sasha Banks from 2012 to 2022. During this time, she competed against some of the best women on the roster and was involved in many historic storylines and matches.

In a recent edition of her newsletter 'Mone Mag,' Mercedes Mone recalled an incident that took place following her match with Nia Jax. During the match, Vince McMahon accidentally called for the referee to ring the bell over the headset. Mone recalled confronting Triple H about it and he playfully told The CEO to confront Vince instead.

"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." [H/T: Mone Mag]

Mercedes Mone hopes Shane McMahon joins AEW

One of the biggest news stories in recent months is Shane McMahon's potential interest in AEW. He even had a meeting with Tony Khan which raised a lot of eyebrows. However, since then, both of them have remained quiet on the possibility of Vince McMahon's son joining AEW.

During the same edition of the Mone Mag, Mercedes Mone wrote that Shane is passionate about the wrestling business and she is all in for him joining Tony Khan's promotion.

"Seeing Shane's incredible heart and passion for wrestling makes me think he has a lot of unfinished business. It also makes me think is Shane coming to AEW? I'm here for it, and I'm sure our roster is too. Regardless, it just seems like Shane belongs in the wrestling business. I admit if he doesn't come back to wrestling, it will make me sad for him. I know what it's like to be removed from what you love and how sad it made me. I imagine he feels the same way." [H/T: Mone Mag]

It will be interesting to see if Shane McMahon will end up joining All Elite Wrestling in the near future.
