Mercedes Mone is currently on a self-imposed break from AEW, but her future plans are becoming clearer during this hiatus. Recently, after weeks of tension and Willow Nightingale claiming the TBS Championship, Mone vowed to come back to AEW with the goal of winning more than just the title. Meanwhile, she continues to hold several titles in the independent wrestling circuit, where Winnipeg Pro Wrestling (WPW) is organizing a contender tournament for the Morne Women’s Championship. This tournament, featuring eight female competitors, will take place over two nights on March 13th and 14th at the West End Cultural Center in Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada.
Mercedes captured the WPW Women’s Championship on October 19 of last year by defeating Jodie Threat at the event Rumble at Vert 3. Former WWE star and two-time NXT Women’s Champion Shayna Baszler is also set to make her WPW debut soon, though her opponent has not yet been announced. As of now, there is no official confirmation on when Mone will return to AEW, but updates will be provided as they become available.
Fan Take: Mercedes Mone’s hiatus and continued dominance in the independent scene signal exciting potential for her eventual AEW return, potentially shaking up the women’s division. AEW fans should watch closely, as her expanded presence could elevate competition and storylines, benefiting the sport overall.
