The CEO recently etched a spectacular record in her illustrious resume. She dethroned Mina Shirakawa to win the ROH World Television title, winning her 11th championship at AEW WrestleDream 2025 and surpassing Ultimo Dragon's record of holding ten titles simultaneously. The next night, she defeated Jody Threat to win the WPW Women's title, bringing her title collection to 12.

One of the twelve titles Mercedes Mone has won is the Bestya Women's Championship. In a video released on social media, the Ultimo Mone recently announced that she will return to the promotion in Rome on November 9 to defend the aforementioned title in an open challenge to any competitor who wants to jump on the 'Mone Train.'

Mercedes Mone is set for a title match at AEW Full Gear 2025

Mercedes Mone's roaring success has found her in the crosshairs of the reigning AEW Women's World Champion, Kris Statlander. The Cosmic Killer took down Mone after her match at the 2025 WrestleDream event.

The CEO then challenged Statlander for her title at Full Gear 2025, which she later accepted. However, on the following edition of Dynamite, Mone was left embarrassed by Statlander after she dropped her face-first into a cake. With the stage set for an epic title showdown, it will be interesting to see who will leave the pay-per-view with the gold.
