Mercedes Mone Title Match Made For AEW Full Gear
Mercedes Mone will face her toughest AEW test to date when she puts her TBS Title on the line at Full Gear.
Mercedes Mone set her stall out when she made her debut for AEW at Double Or Nothing where she captured the TBS Championship from Willow Nightingale and The CEO is still to taste defeat in Tony Khan’s company.
Former TBS Champion Kris Statlander has made her issues with Mone known in recent weeks and defeated the TBS Champion’s own personal ‘Brickhouse’ Kamille on Fright Night Dynamite. However, Mone had the last laugh as she laid out Statlander after the match. On the following edition of Collision, a backstage promo aired where Statlander put Mone on notice for Full Gear on November 23rd.

Kris Statlander has already held the TBS Title in her AEW career and ended the undefeated streak of another major star to claim that crown. Jade Cargill had been dominant as the undefeated, inaugural TBS Champion in AEW until Double Or Nothing 2023 when Kris Statlander defeated her for the gold after Cargill had already successfully defended the title against Taya Valkyrie.
Full Gear will also see Jon Moxley put his AEW World Championship on the line against Orange Cassidy after Cassidy stepped up to try and put an end to Moxley and his Death Riders.
