Swan Shocks Mercedes Moné with BestYa Title Win

At Sunday’s Mone Mayhem event held in Bagnolo Cremasco, Italy, Swan secured a major victory by defeating Mercedes Moné to capture the BestYa Women’s Championship. This win marks Swan’s first time holding this title in her independent wrestling career, creating a significant upset in the women’s division.

Mercedes Moné Faces Another Setback in Title Reign

Mercedes Moné’s loss to Swan further reduces her current championship count, leaving her with seven active women’s titles. Prior to this event, Moné held an impressive collection of belts, including the Discovery Wrestling Scottish Women’s Championship, EWA Women’s Championship, PTW Women’s Championship, Bodyslam Women’s Championship, WPW Women’s Championship, APAC Women’s Championship, and the AEW Owen Hart Foundation Women’s Championship secured in 2025.

Recently, Moné also lost the CMLL Women’s World Championship at the CMLL La Noche de Las Amazonas event in Arena Mexico, Mexico City, further challenging her dominance in the international women’s wrestling scene.

Implications of the Title Change for Mercedes Moné and the Division

Moné’s consecutive title losses signal a moment of transition and may signal increased competition within the women’s wrestling landscape. Swan’s BestYa Championship win positions her as a rising contender to watch, while Moné’s remaining titles remain a testament to her resilience despite recent setbacks. The shifting of these championships could influence upcoming matchups and storylines across multiple promotions.
