The CEO defeats Willow Nightingale despite suffering a broken nose
Summary
– Mercedes Moné defeated Willow Nightingale to capture the AEW Women’s World Championship
– Willow passed out in the Statement Maker instead of submitting
– Moné suffered a broken nose during the physical title match
Mercedes Moné is the new AEW Women’s World Champion after defeating Willow Nightingale at All In London in a brutal championship match.
Moné entered Wembley Stadium looking to capture the major AEW championship that had previously eluded her, while Willow came into the match already dealing with a legitimate broken hand.
The physical battle took another toll when Moné suffered a broken nose during the match. Blood became visible as the contest continued, but the injury did not prevent her from fighting through to the finish. :contentReference[oaicite:0]{index=0}
Willow also refused to surrender despite the damage she had taken. Moné eventually trapped her in the Statement Maker, but Willow would not tap out.
Instead, Willow lost consciousness while caught in the submission, forcing the referee to stop the match and award Moné the victory. Commentary emphasized that Willow never willingly relinquished the championship. :contentReference[oaicite:1]{index=1}
The stoppage officially made Moné AEW Women’s World Champion for the first time.
Moné celebrated the victory while visibly battered from the match and later walked across Willow’s back as the former champion remained down, adding another insult after taking the title.
Willow’s broken hand had already become part of the rivalry before All In, with Moné targeting the injury during the build to Wembley. Despite entering at a physical disadvantage, Willow pushed the challenger deep into the match before eventually passing out.
Moné now sits at the top of AEW’s women’s division after capturing another major championship and surviving one of the most physical matches of her run with the company.
