Mercedes Mone’s Impressive Outing As TBS Champion Extends At AEW All Out
Mercedes Mone retained her TBS Championship at AEW All Out against Riho.
Mone clashed with Alex Windsor on the September 3 episode of Dynamite. The CEO managed a win after a closely-contested match.
After the bout, she refused a handshake from Windsor, and followed up hitting her with her TBS Championship. She then applied the Statement Maker.
Riho, returning for the first time since July 2024, intervened and hit a double foot stomp on Mone to break it up.
The Japanese star then held up the TBS Championship, staking her claim for the title. A match was later set up for All Out.
Mercedes Mone Outperforms Riho
Riho, the inaugural AEW Women’s World Champion, gained the early advantage at All Out by hitting a couple of double foot stomps on Mercedes Mone outside the ring.
The champion, though, regained the advantage shortly after and applied a sequence of submissions before relinquishing the advantage.
Riho put Mone in a cross face submission, before targeting the latter’s midsection with another double foot stomp.
She hit the opponent with a Sunset Flip Bomb on the ring post, and followed it up with a Meteora.
Mercedes Mone retained her belt by hitting the Mone Maker.
