Mercedes Monet has achieved a significant milestone in her wrestling journey, celebrating one year as the AEW TBS Champion. She first won the title at AEW Double or Nothing 2024 on May 26th by defeating Willow Nightingale in her debut match with the promotion.
Throughout the past year, Monet has successfully defended the championship 17 times, overcoming top AEW competitors like Chris Stalander, Hikaru Shida, Britt Baker, Stephanie Vaquer, and Anna Jay. She remains undefeated in AEW singles competition, and this reign is the longest of her career. Monet is also recognized for her previous accomplishments, including WWE singles and tag team titles, along with championships in New Japan Pro Wrestling and RevPro.
Looking ahead, the “CEO” is aiming even higher. At Double or Nothing 2025, Monet won the Women’s Owen Hart Foundation Tournament, securing not only the championship but also the opportunity to challenge for the AEW Women’s World Championship. While no one in AEW history has held both the TBS and Women’s World Championships simultaneously, Monet is in a strong position to become the first.
Fan Take: This milestone solidifies Mercedes Monet as one of AEW’s top female stars and sets up an exciting potential unification that could redefine women’s wrestling in the company. AEW fans should be eager to see if she can make history by holding both titles, which would elevate the competition and storytelling to a new level.
