AEW Dynamite on October 22, 2025, was already loaded with title matches and major announcements—but the 12 Belts Celebration for Mercedes Moné didnâ€t go the way anyone expected.
What was supposed to be a tribute to Mercedes†historic achievement—winning her 12th career championship by claiming the Winnipeg Pro Wrestling Womenâ€s Title—turned into total chaos in front of the live crowd at the Boeing Center in San Antonio, Texas.
The ring was decked out for the occasion with balloons, streamers, and a giant cake. Renee Paquette was in the ring to host the celebration, but before Mercedes even arrived, fans got an eerie surprise. A puppet styled after Mercedes Mone suddenly popped up from under the table where the cake was sitting, immediately drawing attention. It was a bizarre moment—clearly orchestrated by Harley Cameron.
Moments later, the real Mercedes Moné stormed down to the ring, visibly furious. She told Harley she was pathetic and pointed out that just weeks ago, Harley had been begging to be her tag partner. She labeled her as desperate and said the night was supposed to be about her, not petty antics. She declared her 12-title milestone as one of the greatest accomplishments in professional wrestling and said she was sick of being disrespected. Mercedes then picked up the puppet and shoved it face-first into the cake.
But just when fans thought the segment was wrapping up, chaos struck again. Kris Statlander emerged from under the same table and blindsided Mercedes, grabbing her and slamming her straight through it. The attack sent a clear message: Statlander isnâ€t here to play games—and sheâ€s ready to challenge Monéâ€s dominance ahead of their match at AEW Full Gear on November 22 in Newark, New Jersey.
This explosive segment didnâ€t just kill the celebration—it poured gasoline on an already heated rivalry.
What did you think of Statlanderâ€s ambush? Should AEW have let Mercedes enjoy her moment, or did the attack add fuel to the fire? Let us know your thoughts in the comments.
Mercedes Moné is ready to defend her TBS Championship in an open challenge at AEW WrestleDream tonight—and now, she may have a familiar face stepping up to meet her.
Just hours before showtime, ROH Womenâ€s Champion Athena sparked serious speculation by responding directly to Monéâ€s open challenge announcement on Twitter. Athena kept it cryptic, but fans are already reading between the lines. “Hmmm #WrestleDream,†she wrote.
That one-word tweet has people talking, especially with whatâ€s at stake. The open challenge isnâ€t just for Mercedes Monéâ€s TBS Title—itâ€s a winner-takes-all match. That means whoever challenges her also puts their belt on the line. If Athena accepts, her ROH Womenâ€s Championship would be up for grabs too.
This could be huge for Moné, who recently retained the CMLL Womenâ€s World Championship after beating Persephone in Arena Mexico. If she pulls off another win tonight, sheâ€ll move even closer to matching Último Dragónâ€s legendary record of holding 10 titles at once.
Athena and Moné arenâ€t strangers. Theyâ€ve fought, theyâ€ve teamed, and theyâ€ve built a complex dynamic that could explode at WrestleDream if Athena decides to make it official.
The only question now is—will the Fallen Goddess show up?
Are you hoping to see Athena challenge Mercedes Moné in a title vs. title showdown at AEW WrestleDream? Drop your thoughts in the comments and let us know who you think walks out with all the gold.
