Mercedes Moné Teases AEW Return with Major Title Defenses

Mercedes Moné has addressed her recent absence from All Elite Wrestling (AEW), explaining that she has been away for a few weeks to focus on recovery. The star paused her appearances following a humiliating segment after losing the TBS Title to Willow Nightingale. This incident prompted her to take an indefinite hiatus from the company to heal physically and emotionally.

Moné shared through social media that she is currently in Mexico undergoing stem cell treatment, aiming to renew her strength before an intense schedule of title defenses begins in March. This period of rest is part of her preparation to return stronger and ready to defend her championships.

“So I’ve been really trying to enjoy this time off by really healing my body and taking care of myself because I want to come back to the ring better than ever. I’m gonna be very busy in March because I still have a lot of championships to defend. Yes, I defend my titles, b*tches. But I’ve just been taking this time to feel good. I really want to feel good inside and outside. If you saw a couple of my videos at the House of Sun, oh my God, my back, my neck feel amazing. I’ve never felt my spine so straight. Now I’m here in Cancún, Mexico, for stem cell treatment. I came down to Rejuvstem because a lot of my coworkers came down here and told me the results. So I’m super excited for feeling like the best version of myself,” she said.

Upcoming Title Defenses Scheduled Across Multiple Countries

Mercedes Moné’s return to the ring is set to feature a series of major title defenses starting on March 6, 2026. CMLL recently announced that she will defend the World Women’s Championship at their La Noche De Las Amazonas event in Mexico City. The identity of her challenger remains undisclosed, but the event highlights her growing influence on the international wrestling scene.

Her schedule extends beyond Mexico, with additional title matches planned in Italy, France, and Canada throughout March. These defenses underscore Moné’s cross-promotional prominence and highlight her role as a dominant figure in women’s wrestling worldwide.

The Significance of Mercedes Moné’s Return for AEW and Beyond

Mercedes Moné’s planned comeback and extensive defense schedule signal her intent to solidify her status as a top contender across multiple wrestling organizations. After a challenging period marked by the loss of the TBS Title and a difficult on-screen moment, her focus on recovery and renewal reflects a strong desire to reestablish her position at the forefront of competition.

The series of international title defenses may not only elevate her career but also strengthen cross-promotional ties between AEW, CMLL, and other wrestling bodies. Wrestling fans can look forward to witnessing how Moné’s return impacts storylines and championship landscapes in the coming months.
