Mercedes Mone Announces Death of Her Younger Sister Alexis

In a heartbreaking update, AEW Women’s World Champion Mercedes Mone revealed the death of her younger sister, Alexis Varnado, in her latest newsletter.

In the latest edition of Mone Mag [via F4WOnline], Mercedes revealed that her younger sister passed away in September 2026. She recalled attending WrestleMania in Atlanta with Alexis during their formative years and more. Mone wrote the following statement:

“September was an incredibly hard month for me because I lost my younger sister, Alexis. It’s still difficult to talk about. She was so young, and knowing she left behind two young children makes my heart hurt even more.

One memory I keep thinking about is when we went to WrestleMania together in Atlanta when we were younger. Wrestling has been such a huge part of my life, and I love that I have that memory with my sister from before so many of my own dreams came true.

I also think about 2020, when she helped me with my mom. I will always be grateful for that. I wish Alexis had more time. I wish her children had more time with their mom. I’m still trying to understand how somebody so young can be gone. I love you, Alexis.”

Elsewhere, Mone reflected on her AEW Women’s World Championship victory at All In: London. You can read comments HERE.
