Mercedes Moné’s AEW Return: Major Update After Health Break

Mercedes Moné has been away from All Elite Wrestling programming since she lost the TBS Championship to Willow Nightingale at Dynamite: New Year‘s Smash several months ago. Recently, it was announced that Moné will be returning to defend another one of her titles soon, marking a significant development for fans following her time away.

Since joining the Jacksonville-based promotion, Moné built a reputation as an extraordinary champion, holding 13 belts simultaneously at one point during her career. However, her winning streak came to an end toward the close of 2025, when she lost three of her championships, including the prestigious TBS title.

Scheduled Matches Leading Up to Mercedes Moné’s Return

In the wider wrestling scene, an upcoming CMLL event features a match between Persephone and Olympia on February 27th. The victor of this contest will challenge Mercedes Moné for the CMLL Women’s World Championship on March 6th. This will be Moné’s first appearance in CMLL since her October victory over Persephone to retain that title, creating anticipation for her performance after the break.

Given that this will be her first match in nearly two months, speculation is growing about whether she will successfully defend her championship or face further setbacks in her collection of titles.

Recent Health Revelations From Mercedes Moné

As one of professional wrestling’s top female figures, Moné recently shared important news concerning her health. She disclosed via her official Instagram account that she has undergone stem cell therapy to aid in her recovery and overall wellness.

“My name is Mercedes Moné, I’m a professional wrestling icon and legend and I’m here in Cancun, Mexico, getting my RejuvStem on. I really came down here just for recovery. I wanted to feel good, I have a little break from wrestling right now. So, I’m here to heal my body, and I’m feeling really good. I did get the Dezawa muse cells, and I also got a nice little facial,” she said.

The timing of this treatment aligns with her recent hiatus, suggesting her focus has been on regaining strength for her upcoming matches.

What Fans Can Expect Moving Forward

With AEW Revolution only weeks away, speculation continues about whether Mercedes Moné’s return will occur before that high-profile event. Her comeback will be closely watched, as it will provide insight into her current form and ability to retain her championships. The outcomes of the upcoming CMLL matches and Moné’s own return will likely shape the future dynamics within both the Jacksonville promotion and the international wrestling landscape.
