AEW may be pulling the trigger early on one of its biggest potential womens matchesMercedes Mone vs. Athena might not be waiting until summer after all.
According to Fightful Select, the match is in the plans for All Elite Wrestling this year, and could happen as soon as AEW Dynasty. While nothing is confirmed for the April pay-per-view just yet, the timing lines upespecially after the two shared an in-ring face-off shortly after the report dropped.
Many assumed AEW was saving the match for All In: Texas, especially given Athenas strong ties to the area. But sources say there are other creative pitches for that event, and that the two werent put in the same tournament on accident, referring to their involvement in the Owen Hart Foundation Tournament. AEW seems to be building to this collisionits just a matter of when.
Adding to that, its also being said that Mercedes and The RenegadesRobyn and Charlettehad again pitched working together, which led to Mercedes facing Robyn Renegade on AEW programming. As for Charlette, shes expected to make her return soon after being absent from AEW and ROH action for all of 2024.
Mercedes has made it clear shes here to elevate the entire division, and facing Athenaarguably one of the most dominant women in ROHwould be a massive moment for both stars.
Do you want to see Mercedes Mone vs. Athena at Dynasty, or should AEW save it for All In? And should The Renegades get more screen time in this feud? Sound off in the commentswe want your take.
