Mercedes Moné Eyes Mariah May’s AEW Women’s Championship

Six months into her AEW tenure, Mercedes Moné is grateful she’s after coming back from a career-threatening ankle injury and  remains focused on elevating women’s wrestling.

Since joining AEW in March, Moné has worked with talents including Willow Nightingale, Britt Baker, Hikaru Shida, Emi Sakura, and Queen Aminata. She’s also recruited Kamille as her enforcer.

Moné quickly gained the TBS Championship and the NJPW STRONG Women’s Championship following her return. She intends to challenge for more titles in AEW and lead by example, encouraging respect and recognition for women wrestlers.

The “CEO” is preparing for a big TBS title defense next weekend at Full Gear, but she’s also eyeing more hardware. Moné tells Uproxx that she’s “super proud” of AEW Women’s Champion Mariah May. So proud, in fact, that she wants to take her prized possession.

“She is our women’s world champion, beating Toni Storm in one of the best storylines in women’s history. So to see her rise this fast and to see how good she is in the ring, it’s so incredible.

Like I said, we have the best women’s division in the game right now. I’m definitely looking at the title that she has around her waist.”
