Mercedes Moné Reveals Issue Ahead of This Week’s AEW Dynamite

TBS Champion Mercedes Moné has encountered a logistical issue that could impact her upcoming tournament match at AEW Dynamite: Spring Break-Thru this Wednesday.

Mercedes Moné took to X on Sunday to alert fans that her ring gear is currently held in customs, creating uncertainty about her attire for the scheduled Owen Hart Foundation Cup bout against Athena on April 16.

My #AEWDynamite costume is stuck in @DHLGlobal customs. Let’s all pray it arrives on time. 🤑🤑👏🏽👏🏽🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾 #AEWSpringBreakThru.

The timing of this shipping delay comes at a critical moment for Mercedes Moné as she enters the highly anticipated Owen Hart tournament. Her match against Athena represents one of the featured bouts on the special Spring Break-Thru edition of Dynamite.

The event card also includes additional Owen Hart Cup tournament action with Will Ospreay squaring off against Konosuke Takeshita, while Hangman Page will face an unnamed opponent. The AEW Trios Championship will also be defended when The Death Riders trio of Jon Moxley, Claudio Castagnoli, and Wheeler Yuta lock up with The Opps team consisting of Samoa Joe, HOOK, and Katsuyori Shibata.

Mercedes did not specify if alternative gear options are available should her primary attire fail to arrive before Wednesday’s broadcast.
