Mercedes Mone Reaches One Year as TBS Champion – Mercedes Moné has officially completed one full year as the reigning AEW TBS Champion, a milestone that underscores her dominance in AEW’s women’s division. Moné won the title at AEW Double or Nothing on May 26, 2024, by defeating Willow Nightingale. Since then, she has successfully defended the championship 17 times, fending off high-level challengers such as Kris Statlander, Hikaru Shida, Dr. Britt Baker D.M.D., Stephanie Vaquer, and Anna Jay.
Her reign has been characterized by consistency, star power, and high-profile matches, helping elevate the prestige of the TBS Championship within AEW. Throughout the past year, Moné has become a central figure in the company’s women’s roster, headlining major episodes of Dynamite, Collision, and Rampage while defending her title with regularity.
Adding to her accolades, Moné emerged victorious in the 2025 Owen Hart Foundation Women’s Tournament at Double or Nothing this past Sunday. In the finals, she defeated former AEW Women’s World Champion Jamie Hayter in a physical and competitive encounter. With the win, Moné secured a shot at the AEW Women’s World Championship, currently held by Toni Storm, at All In.
Storm and Moné have been circling each other for months, with Moné frequently referencing Storm’s reign and status as a global star. During the post-show media scrum, Moné stated, “This is what a real star looks like,” while reaffirming her intent to dethrone Storm on AEW’s biggest stage.
With her TBS Title reign still ongoing and a Women’s World Title match on the horizon, Mercedes Moné is positioned as one of AEW’s top stars heading into the summer. The potential for Moné to hold both titles simultaneously could represent a historic moment in AEW’s women’s division.
