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.
