Mercedes Mone will defend her TBS Championship against Hikaru Shida at AEW All Out 2024 on Saturday, September 7, at the Now Arena in Chicago, IL.
Mone and Shida previously battled on the August 14th episode of AEW Dynamite, with The CEO emerging victorious.
In her recent “Mone Mag” newsletter, Mercedes hyped up her upcoming title defense.
She wrote, “All Out, Hikaru Shida & Wrestling Rematches: At All Out in Chicago this Saturday I’ll be facing my rival, Hikaru Shida. She won a fatal four AEW Collison match beating Thunder Rosa, Serena Deeb and Queen Aminata, pinning Aminata to secure her opportunity to face me again. This will be a rematch between us, but I really liked my first battle with her back at AEW Dynamite in August. She is another Japanese wrestler, a martial artist and a three-time AEW Women’s World Champion. For reasons I already said, she is going to be tough competition. However, facing someone for the second time, makes the match even more interesting. The first time you face someone, you kind of feel them out. But the second time you’re able to counter a lot of your opponent’s moves.
I know that Shida’s slogan is that she is THE ACE of AEW, but I’m the CEO and I’m going to show her that ‘I’ am now the face of TBS. Chicago here I come!”
It was announced on last night’s episode of AEW Dynamite that Kamille would be banned from ringside during the Mone vs. Shida title match at All Out 2024.
