In a twist as wild as a rollercoaster in a hurricane, the May 29 edition of “AEW Dynamite” featured Mercedes Mone defending her TBS Championship against Skye Blue. This unadvertised grudge match replaced the previously announced bout between Mariah May and Saraya, proving once again that wrestling scheduling is about as predictable as a cat on caffeine.
The backstage tea was spilled by none other than wrestling whisperer Dave Meltzer on the “Wrestling Observer Radio.” According to Meltzer, AEW decided to swap out the May-Saraya showdown for the Mone-Blue grudge match, which probably led to more head-scratching than a dog with fleas. The official reason remains as mysterious as Bigfoot riding a unicorn, but rest assured, Saraya vs. Mariah May will now happen this Wednesday on the June 5 edition of “Dynamite.” Get your popcorn ready, folks!
Speaking of Saraya, she took to X (formerly known as Twitter) to vent her frustrations in the most 21st-century way possible: a bio change. She briefly updated her bio to “Itee imma head out” and teased followers with “About to start really speaking my mind.” This was quickly retracted, leaving her bio as simply “hi.” One might say, her social media game is as unpredictable as her wrestling matches.
But wait, there’s more! Mercedes Mone isn’t done shaking things up. She’s set to have an official championship celebration on the upcoming episode of “Dynamite” after her big win over Willow Nightingale at AEW Double or Nothing. Rumor has it she’ll address the arrival of NJPW STRONG and CMLL Women’s World Champion Stephanie Vaquer, who appears ready to stake her claim as Mone’s next challenger for the AEW TBS Championship ahead of the Forbidden Door pay-per-view on June 30. Looks like we’re in for more twists and turns than a pretzel factory!
