Mercedes Mone talks about encounter with Shane McMahon at the airport

In her newsletter this week, double champ Mercedes Mone detailed her encounter with Shane McMahon at an airport after Forbidden Door.

News broke out earlier this week about the meeting between the two, which was unplanned, and both were going to different destinations from the same airport.

“After it all, by only the fates aligned – I walked into the airport, was in line by the bagel shop when I suddenly looked up, and there he was, just as surprised as I was,” Mone wrote. “My first day being a double title holder and the first wrestler and former WWE Superstar I see is McMahon…come on, if that isn’t the universe working in divine timing, I don’t know what else it could be!”

Mone said that she always loved Shane and when the two locked eyes, both of them looked at each other as if saying, ‘is that you!?’

“Our faces lit up as we got to talking a bit and before he boarded his flight, he gave me his number…the rest as they say history or maybe a mystery!”

The encounter comes amidst rumors that McMahon reached out to some AEW stars who he knows to gauge interest about a possible run with the company as a performer.

AEW President Tony Khan said that he never met Shane McMahon in his life but he respects him both as a performer and as an executive, adding that the door is always open for him to come to AEW.
