Mercedes Mone will put up the CMLL Women’s Championship on next Saturday’s AEW Collision against Olympia.
Olympia made her AEW debut Saturday, defeating Taya Valkyrie in an open challenge. In a backstage promo afterward, she challenged Mone to the match for next Saturday.
It will be their first time ever sharing the ring.
Mone won the gold on this past June’s AEW Grand Slam Mexico by defeating Zeuxis. Since then, she has defended it twice with wins over La Catalina (June) and Persephone (October). Olympia is looking for her first title run anywhere.
Mone currently holds 12 title belts that includes the TBS title, interim Ring of Honor Women’s TV title, and various indie belts. She and ROH Women’s World Champion Athena have also entered the inaugural AEW Women’s Tag Team title tournament.
Next week’s Collision will be taped after this Wednesday’s live Dynamite from Edinburg, Texas. The title match is the only one announced for the taping thus far.
