Mercedes Mone solidified her legacy at AEW WrestleDream 2025 by making pro wrestling history. The event at the Chaifetz Arena in St. Louis saw Mone defend her TBS Championship in an open challenge that quickly escalated into a title-for-title clash with ROH Women’s Television Champion Mina Shirakawa.
The match was fierce and technical, with Shirakawa targeting Mone’s leg and controlling much of the action early. Mone countered with her trademark aggression, connecting with a thumb to the eye and a devastating Money Maker, but Shirakawa refused to stay down. After a series of near falls, Mone finally scored the pin by using the ropes for leverage, sealing her 11th recognized title win.
Her celebration was short-lived when Kris Statlander interrupted, confronting the new double champion to remind her that unfinished business still looms.
With this victory, Mercedes Mone officially surpasses Ultimo Dragon’s long-standing record of ten major championships. To commemorate the milestone, she even updated her social media handle to “Ultimo Mone,” embracing her new title as the most decorated champion in wrestling history.
