AEW Planning Major Match for Mercedes Moné
Fightful reports TBS Champion Mercedes Moné and ROH Women’s Champion Athena heading toward first-ever singles confrontation, potentially at AEW Dynasty.
According to Fightful, AEW officials have begun developing plans for a champion versus champion confrontation between Mercedes Moné and Athena. This highly-anticipated clash could materialize as early as the upcoming Dynasty event.
Despite sharing the ring on more than thirty occasions throughout their careers, the current TBS and ROH Women’s World Champions have never faced each other in a singles match.
The rivalry framework appears to be taking shape through strategic elements recently presented on television. Billie Starkz was positioned as an observer during Moné’s Revolution encounter with Momo Watanabe, creating a subtle connection between the champions’ orbits.
Social media interactions following Moné’s March 19 victory over Starkz provide additional evidence of the building narrative. These digital exchanges further establish the groundwork for what would be a significant championship collision.
Moné approaches her ten-month milestone as TBS Champion, while Athena has maintained her grip on the ROH Women’s World Championship for over two years.
Their last shared in-ring experience occurred in 2018, when Athena emerged victorious in a Triple Threat Match that included Moné. This marks a six-year gap since they’ve competed against each other in any capacity.
