With this successful title defense, Toni Storm now looks ahead to her next challenger for the AEW Women’s World Championship, Mercedes Moné. Moné earned the right to contend for the championship at the same Double or Nothing 2025 event.
Mercedes Moné solidified her status as the next top contender by winning the finals of this year’s Owen Hart Tournament. In that decisive tournament match, Moné defeated Jamie Hayter. The upcoming championship match between Toni Storm and Mercedes Moné is now a focal point in the AEW women’s division.
