"This b*tch"- Mercedes Mone's Sneak Attack; Top AEW Star Breaks Silence

ByM WatsonProfessional Wrestling Journalist

Mercedes Mone laid a sneak attack on an AEW star, and she fired back with a defiant response.

The star is none other than the reigning AEW Women’s World Champion, Willow Nightingale. Before the August 12 episode of Dynamite went on air, Mercedes Mone went live on social media, and she revealed her attack on Willow Nightingale, who was seen lying on the floor backstage.

As the show was being televised, it was shown that Mone attacked her during her sit-down interview with Renee Paquette. Following that, Willow Nightingale took to her X to break silence and lash out at the CEO, saying:

F*******ck this b*tch.

Both women are on a collision course heading into AEW’s biggest show of the year, All In 2026. Mercedes Mone, who is the winner of the 2026 Owen Hart Foundation Cup tournament, will challenge Willow Nightingale for the AEW Women’s World Championship at the event.

The duo has a storied history, having picked up victories over each other in high-stakes matches. However, their clash at All In 2026 will certainly be the most significant match of their rivalry.

With the stage set for Mercedes Mone and Willow Nightingale, it will be interesting to see who leaves Wembley Stadium with the gold.
