Mone says she is taking a break from AEW now, but when she returns, she will collect more than just titles.
On AEW Dynamite New Year’s Smash, Mercedes Mone lost her TBS Championship to Willow Nightingale. This week, she tried to ruin Willow’s title celebration but got a cake smashed on her face instead.
