Mercedes Mone to challenge for Malaysian indie title

Mercedes Mone is going for more international gold — this time attempting to win a Malaysian indie title.

House of Glory has announced that Mone will face Nor “Phoenix” Diana at the promotion’s Superclash event in Long Island, New York on Saturday, November 15. It’s a title match where Diana is defending the APAC Women’s Championship that she holds in Malaysia.

  • AEW TBS Championship
  • AEW Owen Hart Cup Championship (ceremonial)
  • Interim ROH Women’s TV Championship
  • CMLL Women’s World Championship (Mexico)
  • RevPro Undisputed British Women’s Championship (United Kingdom)
  • Queen of Southside Championship (inactive, unified with RevPro title)

  • Prime Time Wrestling Women’s Championship (Poland)
  • Discovery Wrestling Women’s Championship (Scotland)
  • Bodyslam Women’s Championship (Denmark)
  • Winnipeg Pro Women’s Championship (Canada)

Mone is also set to challenge Kris Statlander for the AEW Women’s World Championship at Full Gear on November 22.
