At AEW All In Texas, Toni Storm stunned spectators by handing Mercedes Moné her first singles defeat in AEW, ending an undefeated streak that had lasted since her debut in March 2024. Moné, who entered the event with multiple championship titles and an aura of dominance, faced Storm in a highly anticipated AEW Women’s World Championship match that lived up to its expectations in every way.
Known as “The CEO,” Mercedes Moné had quickly established herself as a dominant force in AEW’s women’s division, showcasing ruthless skill and precision. Her reign appeared nearly untouchable until she met the relentless determination of Toni Storm on this night in Texas.
A Grueling Championship Match Filled with Intense Exchanges
The championship bout was a brutal and emotionally charged affair. Moné made a grand entrance, accompanied by the Six Shooters, radiating confidence as the reigning AEW Women’s Champion. The two competitors wasted no time engaging in a fierce battle, exchanging grapples, submissions, and near falls that kept the crowd on edge.
Mercedes nearly secured an early victory with her Statement Maker submission, but Storm’s resilience and counterattacks kept her in the match. The momentum shifted back and forth, with Moné applying a grapevine ankle lock after a sharp head scissors takedown, aiming to weaken Storm’s foundation.
Storm responded with multiple German Suplexes and a powerful hip attack that sent the ring shaking. Outside the ring, the physicality intensified as former Sasha Banks delivered a devastating sunset flip powerbomb to Storm on the floor, followed by a wrenching buckle bomb, which caused Storm to bleed from the nose. Despite the punishment, both athletes refused to back down.
The Climactic Finish That Ended an Era
The match reached a fever pitch in the final moments as Toni Storm executed her signature Storm Zero finisher, only for Moné to kick out. Moné countered with the Mone Maker, which Storm narrowly escaped. Following a back-and-forth exchange involving a lungblower to backstabber combo and a nearly match-ending STF hold from Storm, the decisive moment arrived.
Storm climbed to the top rope with a bloodied Moné in tow and delivered a thunderous Avalanche Storm Zero, decisively ending the contest. The three-count marked the conclusion of Moné’s dominant singles reign in AEW, leaving her stunned and humbled for the first time in the promotion.
Implications for AEW and the Women’s Division Moving Forward
Toni Storm’s victory represents a significant shift in AEW’s women’s wrestling landscape, signaling that Moné’s previously unbreakable track record is no longer invincible. This outcome opens new possibilities for storylines and competition within the division, highlighting the rising prominence of Storm as a top contender.
Mercedes Moné’s defeat at All In Texas could spark new rivalries and deepen the intensity of future AEW women’s championship matches. Fans can now anticipate how both athletes will evolve and respond to this dramatic change in momentum within AEW.
