A former WWE Champion, Mercedes Mone, has announced that she will be taking a break from AEW due to recent frustrations and a string of losses. Mone, who has held multiple titles and was at the top of her game, recently lost her TBS Championship to Willow Nightingale after a reign of over 580 days. This loss, coupled with disrespect shown to her during Willow’s celebration, has pushed Mone to express her frustrations and announce her break from AEW.
In a cinematic vignette promo on the latest Collision episode, Mercedes stated that she is tired of the disrespect and is taking a break from AEW. She emphasized that when she returns, she will be collecting more than just titles, hinting at a fierce comeback.
Interestingly, former WWE star Athena (fka Ember Moon) has hinted at betraying Mercedes Mone after their failed attempt to capture the AEW Women’s World Tag titles from Willow Nightingale and Harley Cameron. Athena’s social media post suggested that she blames Mone for their loss and teased a potential betrayal in the future.
The creative direction for the partnership between Mercedes and Athena remains uncertain, but their dynamic is sure to add a layer of intrigue to AEW storylines. Fans will be eager to see how this potential betrayal plays out and what it means for both wrestlers’ futures in the promotion.
