Mercedes Mone gets special entrance for AEW x NJPW Forbidden Door match

Mercedes Mone capped off a big weekend in London by retaining her TBS Championship at AEW x NJPW Forbidden Door.

The title was contested in an international four-way match at the pay-per-view, featuring representatives from AEW (Mone and Alex Windsor), CMLL (Persephone), and Stardom (Bozilla). Mone was able to prevail after pinning Persephone and snatching the victory away from Windsor.

Windsor nearly won the title in her home country. She had a Sharpshooter locked on Persephone when Mone broke up the move with a lungblower. Persephone then lifted up Mone, but the champion reversed into a pin to retain her title.

This was Mone’s third match of the weekend, having already competed twice for Revolution Pro Wrestling. She added a new championship to her growing belt collection on Friday by winning the Discovery Wrestling Scottish Women’s Championship.

Mone is currently in possession of nine title belts, with seven of them being currently active championships. She holds the AEW TBS Championship, CMLL Women’s World Championship, and RevPro Undisputed British Women’s Championship, along with titles for indie promotions in Scotland, Poland, Austria, and Italy.

One of the other belts Mone has is the ceremonial title she received for winning the 2025 Owen Hart Foundation Women’s Tournament. The other is the inactive Queen of Southside belt that was previously unified with RevPro’s Women’s Championship.

At Forbidden Door, Mone had a special British-themed entrance where all of her title belts were on display.
