Mercedes Mone Wins TBS Title – Mercedes Moné made a triumphant return to the ring by capturing the TBS Championship at AEW Double or Nothing.
Making her AEW in-ring debut, Moné challenged Willow Nightingale for the TBS Championship. This match marked Moné’s first since May 2023, after she sustained a severe ankle injury against Nightingale at NJPW Resurgence.
Moné, known as “The CEO,” displayed impressive skill despite her lengthy absence. Motivated by a desire for revenge, she focused on targeting Willow’s ankle throughout the match. Despite her efforts, Willow fought back, nearly securing a win with a powerbomb. However, mistimed interference from Stokely Hathaway and Kris Statlander distracted the referee.
Ultimately, Mercedes executed the Moné-maker, clinching the victory and capturing the title.
After the match, Kris Statlander appeared to console Nightingale. Stokely Hathaway berated Willow, leading Statlander to shove him down. However, it was a ruse, as Statlander blindsided Nightingale and attacked her while Hathaway looked on, smiling.
Here’s how the match broke down:
Moné wrenches Willow in an abdominal stretch. Willow transitions into an ankle lock. She drops Moné with a pounce. Willow keeps rolling and gets a two-count with a spinebuster. She slams Moné to the mat and hits a Fisherman suplex.
Moné drops Nightingale with a powerbomb. Willow fires up with a knee-breaker on the apron. She goes for the cannonball, but Moné evades it. Moné hits a meteora. Hathaway and Statlander distract the referee, and Willow hits a powerbomb. Moné locks in the Banks Statement, but Willow reaches the ropes. She hits the Moné Maker for the win.
