Mercedes Mone is still living that rich life since deciding to sign with AEW. She did have some dark creative times in WWE, but Tony Khan is giving her a huge spotlight. That being said, she has some famous family in Snoop Dogg who was there to lend her some much-needed advice.
Mercedes Mone has been accumulating championships since her debut with the company in March 2024. Currently, she holds the AEW TBS Championship, the RevPro Undisputed British Women’s Championship, and the NJPW STRONG Women’s Championship. Obviously, she has very little to complain about as she starts 2025 on top of the pro wrestling world.
During an appearance on the Sherri Shepherd Show, Mone shared insights into her career and the guidance she received from her cousin, Snoop Dogg. The Doggfather came up in the conversation, and Mercedes Mone revealed something that he told her.
“He’s given me the best advice in my whole career. I remember going to WrestleMania with him when I was 16 and letting him know that one day I wanted to be a wrestler. He said, ‘Cuzzo, if you want to do it, I believe in you.'”
Mercedes Mone also recounted a memorable piece of advice from Snoop. He has been there for his cousin along the way, even tho the two of them found fame in very different ways.
“So many times I’ve called him up and he’s told me before, this is advice for everybody, ‘Sometimes in life, you’ve gotta be a hoe.’ I said, ‘What do you mean by that?’ ‘Sometimes in life, you’ve gotta be a hoe. You’ve gotta put your head down, do your work, and do as good as good as you can until you become a pimp. You have to work so hard until you become a pimp. A pimp means to be the CEO of your life.’ I was, ‘This makes a lot of sense.’ Right now, back in the day, I felt like a hoe. Now, with AEW, I’m the pimp. I’m the CEO of my life. I’m good.”
Snoop Dogg has made some appearances for WWE over the years, and even rapped Mercedes Mone to the ring when she was Sasha Banks. The two haven’t linked up on AEW television yet, but you never know what’s in the pipeline for the famous family members.
We will have to see how 2025 pans out for Mercedes Mone. She is a champion now, but nothing lasts forever in the pro wrestling business. At least she’s locked into making that money under Tony Khan’s company, and he seems to be taking very good care of the CEO.
