Mercedes Moné Retains TBS Title on Dynamite as Riho Returns to Set All Out Challenge

A ringside tap that didn't count spotlighted the drama of a reign now past 400 days.

Overview

  • On the Sept. 3 episode of AEW Dynamite from Philadelphia's 2300 Arena, Mercedes Moné defeated Alex Windsor to retain the TBS Championship.
  • During the bout, Moné appeared to submit outside the ring in a moment AEW later spotlighted on social media, which did not affect the official result.
  • After the bell, Moné continued attacking Windsor before Riho made a surprise return and sent the champion to the floor with a basement dropkick.
  • AEW announced that Riho will challenge Moné for the TBS Championship at the upcoming All Out pay-per-view.
  • The booking marks Riho’s first match since July 2024 and her first pay-per-view title opportunity since Worlds End 2023.
