In a match that brought the house down at Wembley Stadium, “The CEO” Mercedes Mone once again proved that when it comes to gold, she’s got a Midas touch! Making her All In debut, Mone successfully defended her AEW TBS Championship against none other than Dr. Britt Baker, DMD. The crowd was ready for a classic, and that’s exactly what they got—a clinic in how to survive the storm and still come out on top.
The match was a rollercoaster from the get-go, with Baker throwing everything but the dental chair at Mone. We’re talking a Panama Sunrise, a Curb Stomp, and even her patented Lockjaw. But while Baker might know how to fix teeth, she couldn’t break Mone’s spirit—or her streak. Mone kicked out of every near fall, each time with the energy of someone who just got told they won the lottery. And just when it looked like Britt might finally pull off the upset, Mone hit the Mone Maker, sealing the deal and sending Baker back to the dentist’s chair with a prescription for humility.
But the drama didn’t end there! Earlier in the bout, Britt Baker pulled off an Eddie Guerrero classic that had everyone fooled. In a stroke of mischievous genius, Baker tossed Mone’s NJPW STRONG Women’s Championship into the hands of Mone’s ally Kamille and then took a dive like a soccer player in the World Cup. The ref, who apparently didn’t get the memo about pro wrestling’s rich history of shenanigans, promptly ejected Kamille, leaving Mone without her backup. Baker’s brilliant ruse set her up for what she hoped would be the finish of the match, but like many a plan hatched in the heat of battle, it was doomed to fail.
For those keeping score at home, this marks Mercedes Mone’s seventh straight win in AEW since her debut at Double or Nothing. She’s been racking up title defenses like they’re going out of style, taking down names like Willow Nightingale, Hikaru Shida, and now Britt Baker. Even after adding the NJPW STRONG Championship to her collection in a title-for-title bout against Stephanie Vaquer, Mone remains unshaken, unbroken, and, most importantly, unbeaten.
With this victory, Mone cements her status as one of the most dominant champions in AEW history. And if tonight was any indication, the “CEO” is planning on keeping her gold for a very, very long time. As for Dr. Britt Baker, DMD? Well, she might want to stick to checkups and cleanings because taking down Mercedes Mone is one tough gig.
