On a thrilling night filled with intense rivalry, Mercedes Mone claimed victory over Hikaru Shida in a gripping match on “AEW Dynamite” to become the AEW TBS Champion. The intense competition displayed Mone’s determination and paved the way for her highly anticipated face-off with Britt Baker at the legendary Wembley Stadium event, All In.
An evening filled with strong competition
As the arena roared with anticipation, Mercedes Mone made a striking entrance, flanked by her formidable ally, Kamille, known as the “Brickhouse.” Mone’s readiness to defend her title with relentless vigor was clearly shown by the presence of the duo. Since the bell rang, tension was thick in the atmosphere.
Mone and Shida, known for their skills in the ring, quickly started an exciting match that had fans on the edge of their seats. Mone’s game plan was clear as she aimed to take control right away, swiftly trapping Shida in a crossface. Although Shida managed to escape, the early dominance by Mone set the tone for a fiercely contested bout.
Tactical moves and surprising turns
During the match, both competitors traded powerful moves, and Shida was able to gain an advantage after landing a strong jumping knee. Nevertheless, Mone’s drive and determination were evident as she successfully fought back and persisted in her quest for success. Mone’s go-to move, the Three Amigos, was spoiled by Shida’s Falcon Arrow, highlighting the competitive nature of this important match.
The dynamic of the match shifted significantly when Kamille’s presence became a key factor. Her timely distractions and interventions provided Mone with crucial advantages. A strategic distraction from Kamille allowed Mone to execute a Meteora to the outside, a move that demonstrated her ability to capitalize on every opportunity.
Kamille’s interference
As Shida attempted to land a decisive Katana, Kamille’s interference became apparent. Pulling Mone out of the ring, Kamille set the stage for further chaos. Shida’s retaliatory actions, including a dropkick aimed at Kamille and an attempted kendo stick assault, highlighted the match’s escalating intensity.
The climax of the match saw Mone regain control amidst the mayhem. With the referee momentarily distracted, Kamille delivered a decisive big boot to Shida, paving the way for Mone to execute her finishing move, the Mone Maker.
