"I finally got to kiss her" - AEW star makes a big confession after intimate moment with Mercedes Mone

Mercedes Mone's AEW Women's World Title match this weekend at All In Texas did not end in her favor, although she did end up sharing a surprisingly intimate moment with her opponent right before the finish. After the bout, defending champion Toni Storm shared her thoughts on having kissed The CEO before sealing the win.

This past Saturday at Globe Life Field stadium, The Timeless One put her AEW Women's World Title on the line against the winner of the 2025 Women's Owen Hart Tournament, Mercedes Mone. After weeks of mind games and hostility, the erstwhile Sasha Banks took on Toni in a bid to add yet another championship to her kitty.

Unfortunately for Mone, Storm managed to retain her strap, securing the victory by planting her opponent with a turnbuckle Storm Zero. However, right before hitting the move, Toni managed to stun Mercedes with a kiss. Addressing the moment during the Media Scrum after the pay-per-view, The Illustrious One stated:

“I just always really wanted to do that, to be honest. She did say one thing about me; she said, ‘Toni, you’re a mark.’ You know what, she’s absolutely right; maybe I’m just a mark. So I just wanted to kiss her, and I finally got to kiss her. I did not expect her to kiss me first; that was nice. But yes, I was always a big fan,” she said. [H/T: Ringside News]

By defeating "Six Belts Mone," Toni Storm handed the TBS Champion her first singles loss in the Jacksonville-based company.

Mercedes Mone broke her silence after AEW All In defeat

Mercedes Mone claimed multiple times during the build for All In Texas that winning the AEW Women's World Championship was supposed to be her story. Unfortunately, The CEO came up short against Toni Storm last weekend after a competitive matchup.

Following her defeat at All In, Mercedes took to X to share a screenshot of herself making a toast to women's wrestling from the Wrestle Dynasty 2025 press conference from earlier this year.

"This is a cheers to women's wrestling," Mercedes said.

It remains to be seen how Mone will attempt to bounce back moving forward on All Elite programming.
