Mercedes Mone has become a prime fixture for AEW since her debut at Big Business in March. The CEO won the TBS Championship from Willow Nightingale at Double or Nothing in her debut match last month.
The former WWE superstar followed it up with another monumental victory last weekend at AEW x NJPW Forbidden Door. Mercedes Mone defeated Stephanie Vaquer in a Winner Take All match and became the TBS and NJPW Strong Womens Champion.
In her recent newsletter, Mercedes Mone reflected on the Long Island, New York audience, turning on her mid-match, citing their love for the Red Sox team over Mones hometown team, Celtics. She initially felt amused about the crowd turning on her citing the unpredictable nature of the wrestling fans, but their energy ended up hyping her even more during the match.
In conclusion, Mone claimed that her character, The CEO, was not only a character but an entire corporation with immediate expansion plans in motion.
Following her historic win, she was upstaged by the return of Dr. Britt Baker, D.M.D. The AEW Original made her first appearance on AEW Dynamite after a year this week and threw out challenge for a match against Mercedes Mone at the next pay-per-view, AEW All In.
With the match potentially on the horizon, we can expect some more spectacular moments to happen at Wembley Stadium, much like at Forbidden Door.
