Mercedes Mone successfully defended the TBS Championship against Zeuxis in an exciting match on AEW Dynamite, setting the stage for a highly anticipated title shot at Forbidden Door.
Angry Beginnings: Mone and Zeuxis Exchange Happens
Mercedes Mone and Zeuxis battled it out in an electrifying match, with both women showing off their technical skills from the opening bell. The match begins with a series of submissions as each champion tries to get on top. Zeuxis, a member of the CMLL World Women’s Tag Team Championship, aimed to defeat the current TBS Champion Mone, which she did with a proper leg drop that sent Mone out of the ring.
Breathwork: Zeuxis Powers
Thanks to the crowd’s support, Zeuxis was able to fly away and perform a suicide dive that left Mone lying at ringside. The pace seemed to favor Zeuxis as the announcement cut to the commercial, leaving fans on the edge of their seats.
A War of Command: Mone’s Struggle
When the show returned from the break, Zeuxis continued his attack with a roaring Liger Bomb, but Mone showed why she was the champion by kicking out. As the crowd cheered, Mone responded with a flurry of punches, landing two nasty knees in the corner of the goal.
Mone tried to kill her three friends (a reference to the famous Eddie Guerrero), but after two blows, she was stopped by the quick-thinking Zeuxis, who destroyed her with a lung punch. The crowd cheered as Mone left the field, showing her true grit and determination.
Last moment: Mone seals the win
Both sides were exhausted and the game was level. Mone dug deep into her reserves and was able to get her “Mone Maker” signature in the middle of the ring. The impact could not be negated, and Zeuxis was unable to recover, giving Mone a hard-fought victory.
