Hold onto your seats, wrestling fans, because Mercedes Moné is making waves in the ring and shaking up the record books! But here’s where it gets controversial: after a thrilling title defense in CMLL, she’s now setting her sights on AEW WrestleDream with a challenge that could rewrite history. Let’s dive into the details and why this might just be the most talked-about move of the year.
Mercedes Moné, the undisputed CEO of the ring, stepped into Arena Mexico on Friday night (Oct. 17, 2025) with a staggering ten championships in tow. Her mission? To defend the CMLL Women’s World Championship against the formidable Persephone. And this is the part most people miss: Moné didn’t just rely on her skills—she brought in AEW’s own Aubrey Edwards as a special referee to ensure fairness, even though she playfully tried to bribe her. Talk about a power move!
In a match that showcased both athletes’ incredible talent, Persephone pushed Moné to her limits with a powerhouse offense. However, it was Moné’s high-flying strategy that sealed the deal. Persephone’s missed flying splash opened the door for Moné to execute a jaw-dropping backcracker followed by a crossface submission, securing her victory. Bold claim alert: Could Moné be the most dominant force in wrestling today?
But the real headline? Mercedes Moné has issued an open challenge to any champion worldwide at AEW WrestleDream in St. Louis, MO (Oct. 18, 2025). She’s putting her TBS Championship on the line in a title-versus-title match, aiming to surpass Ultimo Dragon’s legendary record of holding eleven championships simultaneously. Here’s the kicker: Moné already made history this week as the longest-reigning TBS champion, and this move could cement her legacy as one of the greatest of all time.
Adding to the spectacle, Moné paid tribute to the iconic Selena with her wrestling gear and a musical entrance to Bidi Bidi Bom Bom. It was a moment that blended sports and culture, leaving fans in awe. Meanwhile, her next CMLL challenger, Olympia, is waiting in the wings, though Moné has her sights set on a U.S.-based showdown.
Controversial question: Is Mercedes Moné’s dominance good for the sport, or does it leave other competitors in the shadows? And who do you think should step up to challenge her at AEW WrestleDream? Let’s hear your thoughts in the comments!
