AEW WrestleDream 2025 delivered a massive night from the Chaifetz Arena in St. Louis, Missouri, but nothing stood out more than Mercedes Mone making history. The CEO walked into WrestleDream with the TBS Championship on the line and walked out with her 11th career title, officially setting a new record in pro wrestling.
Mone issued an open challenge at WrestleDream, and speculation swirled about who would step up. The answer came when Mina Shirakawa arrived as the ROH Women’s Television Champion. That turned the bout into a title-for-title showdown, guaranteeing fans a new double champion before the night was over.
The match was physical from the start, with Mina taking control through her striking offense and working over Mone’s knee. Near falls and submission holds pushed the action to the limit. At one point, Mercedes dug into her bag of tricks, nailing a thumb to the eye before hitting the Statement Maker. Even after connecting with a Money Maker, she still couldn’t keep Mina down.
In the end, Mone pulled out a roll-up pin and used the ropes for leverage to secure the victory. Her win didn’t end quietly, as Kris Statlander stormed out immediately after to cut off her celebration and get revenge.
With the victory, Mercedes now stands alone in history, holding 11 recognized championship belts—surpassing Ultimo Dragon’s previous record. To mark the milestone, she even updated her social media name to “Ultimo Mone” recently.
Do you think Mercedes Mone’s record-breaking run proves she’s the greatest of her era, or will someone else eventually top her reign of championships? Share your thoughts in the comments.
