Mercedes Mone responds to critics over holding multiple championships

Mercedes Moné has addressed criticism surrounding her dominance and simultaneous reign as a multiple-time champion across several wrestling promotions. The AEW star, who currently holds nine championships, responded to critics in the recent edition of her Moné Mag.

“Why would I acknowledge the critics? The goal is shown. It’s been shown. For the people that can’t see it, it’s on them.”

Since her AEW debut last year, Mercedes Mone has been on a rampage and has won multiple championships together. Before a couple of losses in December, she, in her prime, held nearly 13 championships together across AEW, ROH, RevPro, CMLL, and more.

Mercedes Mone gets honest about her 2025 opponents

Despite her winning championships all over the world, she has also helped promote indie promotions, which were unheard of or under the radar before her appearances. Further writing in her Mone Mag, she also shared her thoughts on some of the 2025 opponents that stood out to her.

“One of my favorite discoveries was Aliss Link from Denmark. Her style is unlike anything I’ve experienced—creative, sharp, and unpredictable,” she wrote. “One of my favorite independent matches of the year came against her, and trust me when I say: Aliss Link is someone you need to keep your eyes on.”

Kanji from the UK, wrestling for RevPro, twisted me into shapes I didn’t even know my body could bend into. She proudly calls herself the female Zack Sabre Jr., and for good reason. Wrestling her felt like a high-level chess match—one I can’t wait to play again.

“Then there’s Emersyn Jayne from Scotland. Don’t let appearances fool you. Her intensity, agility, and ferocity were unreal. She represented her country with pride, holding the Discovery Pro Championship for over 1,000 days. But as the CEO of women’s wrestling, I study my opponents like no other— and I always find a way to win.”

Mone is now scheduled to face Harley Cameron and Willow Nightingale at Worlds End for the AEW Women’s Tag-Team Championship alongside her partner, Athena.
