Mercedes Moné Retains TBS Title on Title Tuesday as Ex-WWE Champion Lacey Lane Debuts

The champion is roughly 10 days from surpassing the TBS title reign record.

Overview

  • Moné wrestled at Daily’s Place in Jacksonville for the first time, issuing an open challenge on AEW Dynamite’s special Title Tuesday.
  • The mystery opponent was Lacey Lane—formerly WWE’s Kayden Carter—making her official AEW debut after recent Ring of Honor appearances.
  • Lane created an early near fall off a hammerlock flatliner before Moné secured the win with the Mone Maker.
  • Moné requested a Florida opponent for AEW’s homecoming, and Lane, from Winter Park, answered the call.
  • Released by WWE in May with her no‑compete expiring August 1, Lane has been competing in ROH and is reported to be scheduled against Mina Shirakawa for the interim women’s television title.
