The wrestling world is still talking about Mercedes Mone‘s debut in All Elite Wrestling. The American professional wrestler and actress was the epicenter of the AEW special Dynamite: Big Business a few days ago, making official her link with the company for the next few years.

In the days following her appearance, the CEO went on a tour of various media outlets to promote her appearances at her new home. But it doesn’t look like she actually needs to go places to get publicity, either a good one or a bad one. As she recently managed to make news on Twitter.

A fan of Mercedes Mone uploaded a picture of himself watching Mone on AEW Dynamite on TV. And the TV appeared to be a really old CRT. So Mone, being all so generous, tweeted and asked him if his birthday is near so she could gift him a TV. On being told that they’re way past his birthday, she gifted him a TV as a “Christmas gift” instead. As shown in a thankful tweet uploaded by the user with a new box of television in hand.

However, it looks like not every move of generosity garners you good publicity. The gesture still managed to attract the attention of some fans, who had their fair share of criticisms to share.

A user felt that it is embarrassing to flex buying a fan a $150 television.

One user wondered if she couldn’t afford a TV from a better brand.
