I don't need a source in order to deduce simple reality. It's a fact that AEW's ratings and attendance have plunged since Mercedes signed. AEW shows with her on the card don't sell more tickets. Episodes of Dynamite and Collision with her on the card do worse ratings. She doesn't appear to sell a meaningful amount of merch. So it's a plainly obvious fact that she's bringing in no money for AEW. She's a self-mark and Tony is a money mark so her paycheck is likely significant. And she brings in nothing. So she's a drain. A money loser. Literal anti-dimes.
