Mercedes Mone loses EWA Women’s Championship in France

Mercedes Mone has lost another championship.

On Saturday, Mone lost the EWA Women’s Championship to Mila Smidt at a BZW x Rixe APOGEE event in France, her third championship loss in a row this month. After the match, the two held up a sign that said “MORE WOMEN IN THE RING!” in a show of unity. 

Mone has been away from AEW since losing the TBS Championship to Willow Nightingale on the final AEW Dynamite of 2025, declaring shortly after that she was going to take a break. While remaining off AEW TV, she’s made a return to wrestling outside of the promotion at the beginning of March. Most notably, Mone lost the CMLL Women’s Championship to Persephone last Friday. The following day, Swan defeated Mone to win the BestYa Wrestling Women’s Championship in Italy.

Although her belt collection is dwindling down, Mone still has upcoming title defenses. RevPro recently announced that she will defend both the Bodyslam Women’s Championship and Discovery Wrestling Women’s Championship against Alexxis Falcon at their High Stakes event on March 21.

Mercedes Mone wins independent women’s title in Austria

Mercedes Mone has added another belt to her collection.

AEW’s TBS Champion made a surprise appearance on Friday in Pratercatchen, a wrestling event in Vienna, Austria. She defeated Lexa Valo and Mila Smidt in a three-way match to win the EWA Women’s Championship.

“You can call me 5 beltz Mone!” she wrote on social media.

Fan footage showed Mone exiting from a car and entering the ring prior to the match as a surprise.

After the win, Mone asked fans on social media where she should go next. One suggested regaining the IWGP Women’s Championship, with Mercedes agreeing. That title is currently held by Syuri, who won the championship from Mayu Iwatani in April shortly before the latter left Stardom to join Marigold.

Mone is currently set to challenge Toni Storm for the AEW Women’s Championship at All In on July 12. She currently holds the TBS Championship and the Undisputed British Women’s Championship that is recognized by RevPro. She defeated Jamie Hayter to win the women’s Owen Hart Foundation tournament last month at Double or Nothing.
