Mercedes Moné to Celebrate 1,000th Match on AEW’s Landmark Night
Tonight, AEW presents its 300th Dynamite episode, coinciding with Mercedes Moné’s 1,000th in-ring appearance. Since debuting on August 8, 2010, with her first victory in a tag team contest at a National Guard Armory, Moné’s journey has led her through <a href="https://cynicaltimes.org/category/wrestling-news/wwe/”>WWE, NJPW, and various promotions, including years wrestling under her former persona, Sasha Banks. Her storied career includes notable achievements across continents, such as a long reign as NJPW Strong Women’s Champion and multiple title victories in the past months.
Her 999th match occurred at CMLL x NJPW FantasticaMania in Mexico, where she defeated La Catalina to retain the CMLL World Women’s Championship just two days after capturing the AEW Grand Slam: Mexico title from Zeuxis. This success followed her recent win of the EWA Women’s Championship, demonstrating Moné’s consistent performance at the highest level.
At Dynamite 300, Moné will defend her TBS Championship against Mina Shirakawa, a rematch after their last encounter at Wrestle Dynasty in Japan where Mercedes secured the RevPro Undisputed British Women’s Championship. This headlining contest offers Shirakawa a second chance against Moné, whose current TBS title reign has surpassed 400 days. The CEO’s social media posts have encouraged fans to tune in to mark this significant moment.
