Mercedes Mone will have one more title defense before she wrestles at Forbidden Door for the IWGP Strong Women’s title later this month.
AEW President Tony Khan announced that the TBS champion will be facing CMLL’s Zeuxis next week on Dynamite and if Zeuxis wins, she then takes Mone’s place on the pay-per-view card against Stephanie Vaquer.
The 35-year-old Puerto Rican has never wrestled for AEW and this will be her debut match there. In 2018 she was part of the Mae Young Classic tournament, losing in the second round to Io Shirai.
AEW and CMLL have strengthened their relationship over the past several months and CMLL will be featured as well in the Forbidden Door pay-per-view.
