TBS Champion Mercedes Mone has taken the build for her next match to another level.
Mone will defend the TBS Championship against Billie Starkz on tonight’s episode of Dynamite. This comes after Starkz challenged Mone for the title on the March 12th episode of AEW Dynamite.
Longtime fans know there is a decade-long history with Mone and Starkz. In fact, Starkz met her as a young fan at an autograph signing.
A recent social media post highlighted Starkz’s childhood fandom Mone, showcasing her wearing a Bayley shirt during a video package for Mone’s Iron Woman Match at NXT TakeOver: Respect. Mone took to social media to comment on the upcoming match.
She wrote, “I love making kids cry! Time to send her back to her minion mommy.”
