Mercedes Mone issues TBS title open challenge for AEW WrestleDream
Mercedes Mone is issuing an open challenge.
After retaining the CMLL Women’s Championship against Persephone at Arena Mexico on Friday night, Mone took to the microphone to issue an open challenge for AEW WrestleDream, challenging any champion in the world to face her for the TBS Championship.
Following her proclamation, she also accepted a challenge from Olympia for a future match for the CMLL Women’s Championship. However, Mone said it would take place in the United States and not in Mexico.
Mone had been coy about her plans for WrestleDream before Friday. During AEW Dynamite, she said she would be at WrestleDream, though wouldn’t specify what exactly she’d be doing in St. Louis.
