Mercedes Moné wins AEW Women's World Title
Overview
Mercedes Moné captured the AEW Women’s World Championship at All In in London, defeating Willow Nightingale. During the match, Moné sustained a broken nose that required medical attention and stitches. This victory made Moné the first wrestler to hold world championships in WWE, AEW, CMLL, and NJPW. Her path to the title included winning the 2026 Women’s Owen Hart Foundation Cup.
Following her win, Moné has asserted her dominance, claiming to be the only ‘queen’ in the division and directing verbal jabs at Queen Aminata. Despite her championship status, Moné was ruled medically unfit to compete at the AEW All Out pay-per-view on September 26 due to her injury. Consequently, a title eliminator match was scheduled for All Out between Thekla and Willow Nightingale to determine a number one contender.
On a recent episode of AEW Dynamite, Marina Shafir issued a direct challenge to Moné, confronting the champion alongside Jon Moxley. Meanwhile, in the TBS Championship division, Queen Aminata defeated Maya World to become the number one contender for Persephone’s title.
