Mercedes Mone won her 11th title at AEW WrestleDream 2025, defeating Mina Shirakawa in a Title vs. Title Open Challenge Match for the TBS Title and the Interim ROH Women’s World TV Championship. The 11th title breaks Ultimo Dragon’s record for the most belts held simultaneously.
After a red-hot start from Mina Shirakawa, The CEO was able to turn the tide in her favor as she hit the Three Amigos and then went for a Frog Splash, only to run into the knees of the Japanese star. Mina managed to apply the Figure Four, but Mercedes managed to break away.
The AEW star proceeded to take out Shirakawa with a Meteora on the apron. She tried to do an encore in the corner, but Mina was able to reapply the Figure Four. However, Mone escaped and then proceeded to poke the babyface star in the eyes while the referee’s back was turned towards her. She then applied the Statement Maker submission hold and followed it up with the Money Maker after the then-interim ROH Women’s World TV Champion managed to escape.
However, Mina managed to hold onto dear life, as she grabbed the rope at the final moment, much to the delight of the crowd. Shirakawa evaded another Money Maker, but Mercedes Mone eventually won the match after putting her feet on the rope following a backslide, claiming another title in the process.
However, Mercedes’ celebration was cut short as AEW Women’s World Champion Kris Statlander laid her out after being asked to leave the ring by The CEO following her victory over “Timeless” Toni Storm.
