The upcoming bout between Mercedes Mone and Toni Storm is probably AEW’s most high-profile women’s contest that they can put up on a card right now. The stakes also can’t be any higher, with Mercedes carrying five championships looking to take the sixth and most coveted one home, while Toni Storm is having probably the best run of her professional career so far.

It will be interesting to see who among the two women finally comes out on top at All In.
