After the electrifying events of AEW Dynasty, Willow Nightingale emerges as the newly crowned AEW TBS Champion, seizing victory in a resounding triumph over Julia Hart to secure her place as the fourth woman to grasp the prestigious title.
Yet, her euphoric championship celebration is abruptly interrupted by the arrival of Mercedes Mone, determined to stake her claim in the title picture.
Mone had unequivocally expressed her desire to challenge the victor of the TBS Championship bout at AEW’s forthcoming pay-per-view extravaganza, Double or Nothing, scheduled for May 26th in Las Vegas.
As Mone and Nightingale lock eyes in the ring, the atmosphere crackles with anticipation, punctuated by the sudden appearance of the Double or Nothing graphic on the stage, signaling an official confirmation of their impending clash.
The announcement reverberates across social media platforms, solidifying Nightingale’s title defense against Mone at Double or Nothing.
In response to the thrilling announcement, Mone takes to X (formerly known as Twitter) to assertively declare, “Always bet on #Moné.”
The upcoming match marks Mone’s maiden appearance inside an AEW ring since her debut at the “Big Business” edition of “AEW Dynamite” in March, and notably, her return since sustaining a career-threatening ankle injury against Nightingale at a New Japan Pro Wrestling event in May 2023.
AEW President Tony Khan assures fans that Mone will be medically cleared for Double or Nothing.
With over five weeks of television programming to build anticipation leading up to the colossal event, the tension between Nightingale and Mone is set to intensify as the countdown to May 26th accelerates.
