Wrestling fans, get your dream match bingo cards ready—because Mercedes Moné vs. Athena isn’t just internet fantasy booking anymore. It’s happening.
After weeks of social media jabs, backstage teases, and a very pointed post-match promo, Fightful Select now reports that the only question is WHEN, not IF, Moné and Athena collide. And if the rumors are true, we won’t have to wait long—because AEW Dynasty on April 6 is in play.
Moné vs. Athena: A Battle of the Best
On the March 20 episode of AEW Dynamite, Moné defeated Billie Starkz, then took a jab at her opponent’s mentor, Ring of Honor Women’s Champion Athena, suggesting Starkz wasn’t properly prepared.
Athena, who doesn’t take insults lightly, immediately fired back, and now we have one of the biggest women’s matches AEW could possibly book.
Why? Let’s look at the numbers:
🏆 Mercedes Moné: 16-0 in AEW, TBS Champion for nearly 300 days
🏆 Athena: ROH Women’s Champion for 831 days (yes, you read that right), the longest reign in ROH history
If this goes down at Dynasty, it will be their first-ever singles match, as they’ve only competed in multi-woman or tag team bouts before.
Will It Be for a Championship?
That’s the big question. Title vs. Title? Champion vs. Champion? AEW hasn’t confirmed anything yet, but one thing is clear—this isn’t just a match. It’s a battle for supremacy.
The undefeated Moné vs. the longest-reigning champion in ROH history? Yeah, this is a big one.
