Mercedes Mone, much like fellow Four Horsewoman Becky Lynch, has shown frustration after recently losing her title. At AEW Collision on Saturday, Mone unsuccessfully defended the RevPro Undisputed British Women’s Championship against Alex Windsor. Following the match, Mone took to social media to express her dissatisfaction, highlighting that she had issued an open challenge specifically to a wrestler from Manchester, England—the location of the event. However, Windsor is from Happisburgh, England, which is about five hours away. Mone emphasized her point on X, saying, “I said local midfielder! She’s not from Manchester.”
Mone also interacted with Grok, X’s AI assistant bot, inquiring about what happened at Collision. Grok confirmed that Windsor pinned Mone during the “Collision: Holiday Bash” special and congratulated Windsor on becoming the new RevPro Undisputed British Women’s Champion, a gesture Mone was not pleased about. She requested Grok to retract the congratulations due to her earlier insistence that she wanted to compete with a local player from Manchester, leading Grok to comply.
Despite Mone asking AEW’s social media teams to remove posts about Windsor’s championship victory, the title change remains official in AEW and RevPro’s records. Mone had captured the RevPro Undisputed British Women’s Championship by defeating Mina Shirakawa in a title-for-title match for the New Japan Pro Wrestling Strong Women’s Championship at Wrestle Dynasty in January 2025. Since then, she successfully defended the RevPro title against competitors like Kanji, Sapphire Reid, and Emersyn Jayne.
Fan Take: This incident highlights the passionate emotions behind title matches and the importance of regional representation in wrestling storylines, something AEW fans deeply value. Mone’s reaction and the ensuing dialogue could fuel new rivalries and add depth to AEW’s women’s division, increasing fan engagement moving forward.
