# Mercedes Moné wins AEW Women’s World Title > Live situation record from CLSTR: https://clstr.news/situations/mercedes-mon-professional-wrestling-storylines > Updated: 2026-09-04T21:14:34.000Z. Sources: 20. Developments: 6. Professional wrestler Mercedes Moné remains central to several storylines involving AEW and WWE talent. Moné has continued to escalate her rivalry with AEW Women’s World Champion Willow Nightingale, citing deep resentment stemming from an injury Moné sustained during a 2023 match with Nightingale at NJPW Resurgence. At AEW All In in London, Moné successfully captured the AEW Women’s World Championship by defeating Nightingale at Wembley Stadium. The match was notably physical; Moné confirmed she suffered a broken nose during the opening minutes, requiring medical attention and stitches after the bout, while Nightingale competed despite suffering a broken hand. With this victory, Moné has become the first wrestler to have held world championships in WWE, AEW, CMLL, and NJPW. Following her championship win, wrestling analyst Dave Meltzer highlighted her historic career achievements and her experience performing at iconic venues such as the Tokyo Dome, Madison Square Garden, Wembley Stadium, and Arena Mexico. Meltzer noted that while Japanese women have been inducted into the Wrestling Observer Hall of Fame, no American woman has been voted in during the current voting era, suggesting Moné deserves serious consideration for the Hall of Fame. Prior to her championship victory, Moné secured the 2026 Women’s Owen Hart Foundation Cup by defeating Alex Windsor, Hazuki, and Maya Welt in the tournament. Following her title win, Moné has expressed interest in facing independent wrestler Kanji, who has publicly voiced a desire to sign with AEW for a rematch. The All In event also featured the surprise return of Britt Baker to AEW programming, marking her first appearance since late 2024. ## Claims - Mercedes Moné suffered a broken nose during her match.
