As she prepared for a significant career milestone, AEW TBS Champion Mercedes Moné took a moment to reflect on the bouts that have defined her celebrated career. Ahead of her 1000th professional match, scheduled for this week’s episode of AEW Dynamite, Moné shared a list of her favorite encounters.
Responding to a fan query on social media, the champion highlighted matches spanning her entire journey, from her foundational years in WWE to her current multi-promotional reign. The list serves as a chronicle of her evolution, featuring iconic rivalries and historic main events that have shaped women’s wrestling.
The matches selected by Moné include:
- vs. Bayley (NXT Takeover Brooklyn 2015)
- vs. Bianca Belair (WrestleMania 37)
- vs. Bayley (Hell in a Cell 2020)
- Anything with Asuka
- vs. KAIRI (NJPW Battle In The Valley 2023)
- vs. Kris Statlander (AEW Full Gear & AEW Worlds End 2024)
- vs. Mina Shirakawa (AEW x NJPW Wrestle Dynasty 2025)
- vs. Athena (AEW Dynamite Spring Breakthru 2025)
While the list celebrates her past, Moné’s present is arguably more dominant. In recent weeks, she has expanded her international collection of titles, capturing the CMLL World Women’s Championship in Mexico on June 18. This adds to a resume that already includes the RevPro Undisputed British Women’s Championship and the EWA Women’s Championship, showcasing her global reach.
Her 1000th match is not merely ceremonial; she will defend the AEW TBS Championship against Mina Shirakawa. Beyond that, an even greater prize looms at All In in Texas, where she is scheduled to challenge Toni Storm for the AEW Women’s World Championship. Moné earned this opportunity by winning the 2025 Women’s Owen Hart Cup, positioning her for a chance to hold six major titles simultaneously. Her international presence will also be felt later this month, as she is set to appear at Revolution Pro Wrestling’s Summer Sizzler event in the UK on July 25.
