Mercedes Mone vs. Marina Shafir for AEW Women’s World Championship Official For AEW Full Gear 2026

AEW Women’s World Champion Mercedes Mone’s next title defense has been confirmed.

At Fright Night Dynamite, Marina Shafir called out Mercedes Mone, who, in response, slapped the Death Riders’ enforcer. Marina urged Mone to slap her harder, and the latter obliged. When Shafir attempted to kick Mercedes, she ducked and retreated into a corner. However, before she could attack the champ, The Cut appeared out of nowhere and attacked Jon Moxley, who was on commentary.

On tonight’s Collision, it was announced that Mercedes will defend her gold against Marina at AEW Full Gear.

Below is the announcement:
