Mercedes Moné Reportedly Files for Divorce from WWE Costume Designer Sarath Ton

AEW TBS Women’s Champion and NJPW STRONG Women’s Champion Mercedes Moné has initiated divorce proceedings from her husband, WWE costume designer Sarath Ton, known professionally as Mikaze.

The couple met during their tenure in WWE, where Mikaze had a brief stint as a wrestler before transitioning to a long-standing role as a costume designer. The news of their relationship went public, and they tied the knot in a private ceremony in 2016.

While the specifics of their split remain unclear, tension seemed to surface when Mercedes publicly criticized Mikaze’s work on her ring gear during a radio interview in July. This incident has fueled speculation about underlying issues in their marriage.

In addition to her personal life making headlines, Mercedes has been active and vocal on social media. Recently, she responded to a critical comment on her Instagram, where a fan disparaged her wrestling skills and career choices. The fan commented, “No offense, but you’re a sh*tty wrestler. You sucked in WWE because you couldn’t handle real competition to make a real name for yourself so you had to go to the low-class place. You think you’re big and bad, but you’re really a waste of time. Dr. Baker is a better wrestler than you.”

Mercedes confidently replied, “I’m the GOAT.”

Furthermore, Mercedes had another interaction with a fan who expressed nostalgia for her WWE persona, Sasha Banks. The fan commented, “This hair reminds me of the hair you had in WWE as Sasha Banks. I miss that wrestler.” To which Mercedes replied, “No, you don’t.” The fan continued, “Yes, I do. AEW is trash and just filled with ex-WWE wrestlers. Just saying.” Mercedes shot back with, “And what is E filled with (laughing emoji).”

Amidst personal drama and social media firestorms, Mercedes Martinez will defend her TBS Championship against the formidable Dr. Britt Baker, D.M.D. at the highly anticipated All In PPV event at Wembley Stadium on August 25th.
