Mercedes Mone has finally captured the one title that eluded her so far in AEW at their biggest stage, All In 2026.
The event featured Mercedes Mone challenging her heated rival, Willow Nightingale, for the AEW Women’s World Championship. As the bell rang, Mone tried to jump her, only for Nightingale to grab her, place her on the turnbuckle, and then toss The CEO out of the ring. The champion brought her back in the ring and began landing huge clotheslines.
Big D Mone tried to take advantage of Nightingale’s hand injury, but she managed to overcome her pain and had the upper hand on her opponent. Moreover, the former RAW Women’s Champion got busted open early in the match, which further agitated her, and she then unleashed her fury on Nightingale. From that point on, Mercedes Mone began firmly targeting Willow Nightingale’s injured hand, while attempting to assert dominance in the match.
For a brief while, it became a back-and-forth contest as both competitors hit each other with powerful moves in their respective arsenals. Things began to take a turn when Nightingale delivered a suplex to Mone from the apron to outside the ring. The referee was close to counting to 10, but both AEW stars managed to make it back in the ring. Following that, Mone and Nightingale began landing hard-hitting strikes on each other until Nightingale hit a thunderous dropkick from the turnbuckle to the CEO and then executed a Spanish Fly on her.
However, Mone quickly got back up and trapped Willow in the Statement Maker. She had it locked in until the champion overpowered her, but Mone came firing back at her. Both competitors tore each other apart until the referee was taken out after Nightingale shoved Mone into her. This led her to beat Mone with the title belt that the CEO brought into the mix and attempted a pinfall, but Mone kicked out.
The hard-hitting bout finally concluded with Mercedes Mone locking the Statement Maker again and using Willow Nightingale’s own hand to wrap it around her neck. The Ultimo Mone made her tap out to win and become the new AEW Women’s World Champion, celebrating as the pyro went off and the fans erupted in a huge ovation.
