AEW has added a new segment to the lineup for this week’s episode of Dynamite on October 22. AEW Owner Tony Khan announced in a social media post late Tuesday that Mercedes Mone will hold a “12 Belts Mone Celebration” during the broadcast.
The celebration follows a packed weekend for Mone, during which she successfully defended two championships and won two new ones, bringing her total to twelve. On Saturday at AEW WrestleDream, Mone defeated Mina Shirakawa in a match where she retained her TBS Championship and also captured the Interim ROH Women’s TV Title. The following night, she defeated Jody Threat at an independent event to win the Winnipeg Pro Wrestling Women’s Championship.
In his social media post, Tony Khan detailed the champion’s weekend. He wrote, “Wednesday Night #AEWDynamite 8pm ET/7pm CT, TBS + HBO Max TOMORROW, Wed 10/22! 12 Belts Moné Celebration The CEO @MercedesVarnado retained her @CMLL_OFICIAL Women’s World Title + her TBS Title, and won 2 new belts last weekend!
