In All Elite Wrestling’s first six years, its women’s division has notably adopted two championships, with one other set currently waiting within the wings. Women of AEW have also been positioned within the predominant events of “AEW Dynamite” and “AEW Collision.” Looking ahead, TBS Champion Mercedes Mone hopes to see the corporate take that one step further.
“I need to see the ladies predominant event on pay-per-view,” Mone told TV Insider. “I feel that’s the following big thing we are able to do and attain. I feel throughout the last year-and-a-half people have really seen how amazing this women’s division is. Before they were just given somewhat match here, somewhat match here. People were demanding more time for them. They need to see the ladies because they’re such stars. Inside this last year-and-a-half you have seen stars come up like Toni Storm along with her character change. You’ve got seen Athena show up on AEW Dynamite, and I believe she is among the finest on this planet.
“We now have recent women coming in on a regular basis like Megan Bayne, Alex Windsor and others who’re at all times keeping you in your toes,” she continued. “You’re at all times in search of who’s the very best on the market. I feel like we’re bringing the very best in AEW.”
Last week, Mone and Athena defeated Toni Storm and Alex Windsor within the predominant event of “Dynamite.” Mone then went on to successfully defend her TBS Championship against Windsor, CMLL’s Persephone, and STARDOM’S Bozilla in a four-way match at AEW x NJPW Forbidden Door. Athena and Storm also met at Forbidden Door, this time with the latter’s AEW Women’s Championship on the road. Outside of the championship scene, the AEW’s women’s division showcases veterans comparable to Kris Statlander and Willow Nightingale in addition to rising stars comparable to Julia Hart, Skye Blue, and Megan Bayne.
