Starkz pushed the champion to the limit, but Moné proved why she remains at the top


Summary

– Billie Starkz nearly pulled off an upset in her 500th career match

– Mercedes Moné escaped multiple pin attempts before locking in the Statement Maker

– Moné refused to release the hold after the bell, showing her frustration

Billie Starkz walked into Dynamite as the underdog, but she left proving she belonged in the ring with Mercedes Moné. The 20-year-old challenger used her speed and agility to keep the champion on edge, countering Moné’s attacks and nearly scoring the biggest win of her career.

Moné, known for her confidence and technical ability, struggled against Starkz’s relentless offense. A series of reversals saw both competitors trade pinfall attempts before Starkz rocked the champion with a knee strike and a vicious kick. When it seemed like the challenger had the advantage, Moné responded with a lariat that left both women down.

Starkz came within inches of victory after a devastating drop, but Moné saved herself by getting her foot on the rope at the last second. The champion capitalized on a missed top rope attempt, rolling through and trapping Starkz in the Statement Maker. With nowhere to go, Starkz had no choice but to tap out.

Even after securing the win, Moné refused to let go of the hold, sending a clear message to the rest of the division. Starkz may have lost, but she proved she was more than just another challenger—she was a future star in AEW.
