Mercedes Mone wins TBS title at Double or Nothing in AEW debut match

Posted on by Ethan Renner

Mercedes Mone is the new TBS Champion.

Mone defeated Willow Nightingale at Sunday’s AEW Double or Nothing pay-per-view in Las Vegas in her in-ring debut for the promotion, winning the TBS Championship.

In her first match in over a year, Mone pinned Nightingale after hitting her Mone Maker finisher to capture the TBS title in her first AEW contest.

Earlier in the bout, Nightingale had Mone pinned after a doctor bomb, but Nightingale’s seconds Kris Statlander and Stokely Hathaway distracted the referee, buying Mone extra seconds to kick out.

The distraction from Statlander and Hathaway played into the post-match, as Hathaway berated Nightingale for losing the bout. Statlander shoved Hathaway down, then teased leaving with Nightingale. As Nightingale and Statlander made their way to the ramp, Statlander completed her turn on Nightingale by laying out the former TBS Champion with a discus lariat, then posing with Hathaway.

For Mone, the match marks her return to the ring after suffering a career-threatening ankle injury in an NJPW bout against Nightingale on May 21, 2023.

Mone made her first AEW appearance at Dynamite: Big Business in March, with the company announcing her signing and unveiling the free agent in her hometown of Boston.

Two title matches added to AEW Battle of the Belts IV

Posted on by Bryan Rose

Two new title matches have been added to Friday’s AEW Battle of the Belts IV.

FTR will defend the Ring of Honor Tag Team titles against Gates of Agony (Kaun and Toa Liona). Willow Nightingale, meanwhile, will have another chance to win the TBS Championship as she will challenge Jade Cargill.

Wednesday’s Dynamite saw Gates of Agony attack Wardlow and Samoa Joe after Wardlow had successfully defended the TNT Championship against Brian Cage. This brought out FTR, who evened the odds and took out Gates of Agony.

Willow Nightingale scored the pinfall win on Wednesday in a six-woman tag team match. Backstage, she issued a challenge for Battle of the Belts against Jade Cargill. Cargill and the baddies came in and confronted Nightingale, with Cargill mentioning that she had beaten Nightingale twice already. Nightingale said that is true, but Cargill couldn’t win forever.

Here is the current lineup for Battle of the Belts, which will air live Friday following Rampage:

  • AEW All-Atlantic title: PAC defends against Trent Beretta
  • ROH Tag Team titles: FTR defend against The Gates of Agony
  • AEW TBS title: Jade Cargill defends against Willow Nightingale

AEW reveals full bracket for TBS title tournament

Posted on by Josh Nason

During Friday’s edition of Rampage, AEW revealed the full field for the tournament that will crown the first-ever TBS Champion which kicks off on Saturday’s Dynamite.

The 12-woman tournament will feature four first-round matches and four byes with Kris Statlander, former Women’s Champion Nyla Rose, Thunder Rosa and the undefeated Jade Cargill earning automatic entries into the second round. 

The tournament will begin on Saturday’s Dynamite from Orlando, Florida, with Ruby Soho taking on Penelope Ford with the winner moving on to face Statlander.

On this Wednesday’s Dynamite from Boston, Massachusetts, Hikaru Shida will rematch Serena Deeb with the winner moving on to face Rose. Shida’s next win will be her 50th in the promotion as Deeb denied her that distinction in their recent Dynamite clash.

The Bunny will face Red Velvet with the winner taking on Cargill while Anna Jay will take on Jamie Hayter with the winner moving on to face Rosa. Dates weren’t announced for the other two first round matches.

The tournament will conclude with the finals on Wednesday, January 5th when Dynamite moves to their new network home on TBS.

TBS title tournament kicking off on AEW Dynamite

During his regular Friday appearance on Busted Open Radio, AEW head Tony Khan gave some details on the upcoming TBS title tournament.

What was already known was the field and bracket will be announced during Friday’s Rampage, but Khan revealed that the tournament will feature twelve women and four first-round byes.

The tournament will kick off Saturday on Dynamite with the first match revealed Friday which Khan played up as featuring “huge” names.

AEW announced the creation of the TBS title earlier this month ahead of Dynamite’s move to the network in January 2022. The tournament finals will take place on the first day of that move on January 5th.

Khan again put over Saturday’s Dynamite/college football preview show at 7:05 PM Eastern where Jim Ross, Tony Schiavone and Taz will preview Saturday’s show and run through highlights from games featuring the top ten college football teams. He still didn’t announce how to watch the show, but it’s assumed it will be on YouTube.

AEW announces TBS Championship, title tournament

Posted on by Ethan Renner

A new championship title is coming to AEW. 

AEW announced today that they are introducing a secondary women’s title, The TBS Championship. The first champion will be crowned in a tournament, with the tournament finals being held on the first Dynamite on TBS on January 5, 2022. 

No further details as to the number of participants in the tournament were released, but referee Aubrey Edwards stated that the tournament will be held between now and January 5.

Edwards and Tony Schiavone revealed the new title on tonight’s Dynamite. The announcement was teased as a major announcement from Tony Khan, but Schiavone made the announcement in Khan’s place. 

A video package played later in the show with comments from Thunder Rosa, Ruby Soho, Jade Cargill and Skye Blue, all vowing to win the title. 

When the TNT Championship was introduced, it was decided in an eight-person tournament. The finals of the inaugural TNT Championship tournament took place at the Double or Nothing pay-per-view on May 23, 2020. 

AEW reportedly introducing TBS Women’s Championship

Posted on by Josh Nason

While the long-discussed Trios titles are still just a fantasy for AEW fans, a new secondary women’s title is reportedly on the way.

During Denise Salcedo’s 100th edition of Speak Now, Mat Men’s Andrew Zarian said that AEW is set to introduce the TBS Championship, joining the World Women’s title as singles titles.

No other details were provided in terms of when or how the title would be debuted.

AEW will move Dynamite to TBS starting on Wednesday, January 5th.

If the title creation comes to fruition, it would be in parallel with the men’s division which has the World title and the TNT Championship as singles titles.

Four women have held the Women’s title since its creation in October 2019. Riho defeated Nyla Rose in the tournament finals on the first-ever Dynamite to kick off a 133-day reign, followed by Rose winning it for a 101-day reign.

Hikaru Shida beat Rose at 2020’s Double or Nothing for the title, starting the longest reign in the history of the belt at 372 days. Britt Baker defeated her at this year’s Double or Nothing and has held the title for 116 days as of this writing.
