Mercedes Mone (fka Sasha Banks) sends a message after huge AEW announcement

AEW champion Mercedes Mone will defend one of her many titles next week. Before the matchup, the former Sasha Banks sent a message to her opponent, CMLL performer Olympia.

Mercedes Mone made wrestling history over the past week. Last Saturday at WrestleDream, The CEO kept her promise of breaking Ultimo Dragon's legendary record of holding ten championships at the same time by winning her eleventh title, the Interim ROH Women's World TV Championship, after a hard-fought victory over Mina Shirakawa. The very next day, she traveled to Winnipeg, Canada, where she claimed her 12th title by defeating Jody Threat to become the WPW Women's Champion.

One day before WrestleDream, on October 17, Mercedes successfully defended her CMLL World Women's Championship against Persephone at Arena Mexico. The title will be up for grabs next week on AEW Collision, where "Ultimo" Mone will be defending it against Olympia. The CMLL performer was in action on the latest edition of the Saturday Night Show, defeating Taya Valkyrie. Later backstage, the masked luchadora sent a message to Mercedes, promising to unseat her for the CMLL Women's Championship.

"12 Belts" Mone has now responded to Olympia's promo on X/Twitter, writing:

Insane Vince McMahon ideas that got canceled - Watch Here!

"Thank you for the subtitles @AEW You’re gonna love the taste of Moné 🤑 Olympia!"

Mercedes originally won the CMLL World Women's Title by defeating Zeuxis at Grand Slam Mexico this past June.

Mercedes Mone has another title match scheduled for AEW Full Gear

Last weekend at WrestleDream, Mercedes Mone interrupted Kris Statlander's celebration after she retained her Women's World Title against Toni Storm. The Galaxy's Greatest Alien returned the favor soon afterwards by attacking The Boss after her victory over Mina Shirakawa.

An incensed Mercedes then reminded Kris of her prior wins over her and challenged her to an AEW Women's Championship match set for Full Gear 2025 - a challenge that Stat did not take long to accept.

It remains to be seen if Statlander will pick up her first singles victory over Mercedes Mone next month.
