The speculation about Mercedes Mone’s future in wrestling came to an end in March 2024 when she made an enormous impression in AEW at Big Business. Her injuries in a bout for the inaugural NJPW STRONG Women’s Championship forced her to miss action from May 2023.
Now that she’s back in the spotlight after her AEW appearance in March, fans can’t wait for her to get back in the ring. However, a segment on Wednesday’s Dynamite finally ended the suspense. After interrupting Willow Nightingale’s interview as the next TBS title contender, Mone boldly challenged her to a title match at AEW Double or Nothing.
