June 18, 2025. Arena México. AEW wasn’t just stepping into new territory—it was rewriting history under the brightest of lucha libre lights. And history was indeed written by Mercedes Moné.
This was Grand Slam: Mexico—a spectacle that married the soul of Mexican wrestling with AEW’s relentless global ambition. Inside the fabled halls of Arena México, legends were born, rivalries ignited, and one woman elevated herself into the stratosphere of immortality, shattering another record in the process.
That woman? Mercedes Moné, formerly known as Sasha Banks.
That record? A fifth title win.
Moné stepped into the ring not just as a challenger to CMLL World Women’s Champion Zeuxis, but as a one-woman empire. Already the reigning TBS Champion, the Owen Hart Cup holder, the EWA Women’s Champion, and RevPro Undisputed Women’s Champion, Mercedes came hunting for gold—and walked out cradling history.
In a match that blurred speed with strategy, Moné hit a breathtaking mid-air counter that snapped the breath out of Arena México—and snapped the reign of Zeuxis. One… two… three.
The bell rang. The crowd rose. And Mercedes Moné, now a SIX-time simultaneous titleholder, stood center ring with all her championships draped across her arms like war medals. With this win, she became the first woman in wrestling history to capture major championships in the USA, Japan, UK, and Mexico. Madison Square Garden. Tokyo Dome. Wembley Stadium. Arena México. No one—not a single soul—can say that but her.
Just as the confetti began to fall, the clouds rolled in.
The screen flickered. AEW Women’s World Champion Toni Storm, channeling her Hollywood noir madness, appeared in a cryptic vignette. But it was no mere promo—it was a trap.
Mina Shirakawa appeared on the ramp as a distraction. And like thunder in silence, Storm struck from behind. Draped in red and dripping with vengeance, she German suplexed Moné and brawled her out of the ring, forcing officials to intervene. It was personal. It was brutal. And it sent a message:
The final boss isn’t done yet.
On July 12, at All In: Texas inside Globe Life Field, it’s Toni Storm vs. Mercedes Moné. AEW Women’s World Title on the line. One woman holds the mountain. The other is the mountain. If Mercedes can defeat Storm at All In while retaining all her current championships, she will become the only woman in history to hold six championships simultaneously.
History was made in Mexico. But the war? That’s only just begun.
