Folks, the TBS Championship is still in the hands of Mercedes Mone, and it looks like it’s not going anywhere anytime soon! On this week’s “AEW Dynamite,” the “CEO” herself successfully defended her title for the ninth time in a row, taking out Queen Aminata in a thrilling match. Let me tell you, this wasn’t your average walk in the park—more like a wrestling rollercoaster, and Mercedes rode it straight to victory.
It all started when Aminata, daring as ever, interrupted Mone’s backstage segment (bold move, right?) before WrestleDream. No one interrupts the “CEO” without consequences, but props to Aminata for having the guts to stand up to Mone’s disrespect. As the challenger stepped into the ring on Dynamite, it was clear she wasn’t just here for a paycheck—she was here to win.
But Mercedes Mone, ever the strategic champ, didn’t come alone. Oh no, she brought back-up in the form of Kamille—known to many as the “Brickhouse.” The moment the bell rang, Kamille made her presence felt, immediately taking a swipe at Aminata’s legs like a true ringside menace. Talk about teamwork!
Despite Kamille’s interference, Queen Aminata didn’t back down. She gave Mone a serious run for her money, at one point even headbutting Kamille out of the equation. However, Mone, always thinking two steps ahead, used her environment to her advantage, smashing Aminata’s face off the steel stairs (yikes).
Back in the ring, the action really heated up when Aminata hit a huge spinning neck breaker. But let’s be honest, Mone didn’t become champion by lying down easily. She kicked out, dodged a submission attempt, and turned the tide with a meteora from the middle rope. Then, in signature fashion, she sealed the deal with a vicious backstabber and locked in the Statement Maker submission to force Aminata to tap out.
Nine defenses, folks. Nine! Mercedes Mone is sitting on a throne built of victories, and it doesn’t look like anyone’s knocking her off it anytime soon. With Kamille at her side and a growing list of challengers eating dust behind her, the TBS Championship seems pretty secure. But the question remains: who will finally dethrone the “CEO”? My guess? They’d better bring a crowbar.
