Mercedes Mone provided an update on her nose injury at AEW WrestleDream Post-Show.
The CEO captured the AEW Women’s World Championship from Willow Nightingale in what she described as one of the greatest matches of her career at All In: London. However, it came at a cost, as she suffered a broken nose during the bout.
At the WrestleDream 2026 Post-Show, Mercedes Mone revealed that she underwent nose surgery during their hiatus last month. Mone has since defended her title twice, including against Thekla at Saturday’s PPV. While she admitted that her nose is still broken, The CEO is focused on defending her belt no matter what. Here’s what she said:
On winning the AEW Women’s World Championship at Wembley Stadium and her match with Willow Nightingale
“It was definitely one of the hardest-fought battles I’ve ever had and one of my greatest matches and greatest moment in my whole career. I love, love that moment at Wembley. Just a full-circle moment for me as well.”
On her nose injury
“But yeah, I’m one month and a half post-surgery on my nose. It’s still very much broken, and I’m pushing through every single week but I love what I do. I love defending my Women’s Championship, and I’m here to be the best, and just having a broken nose, it’s not gonna faze me. It’s not gonna stop me; it’s not gonna stop me from defending this, and this is my destiny, so I’m ready to give everything I have for it.”
