Mercedes Moné Scores Win Over Marina Shafir To Retain AEW Women’s World Title At Full Gear 2026

Mercedes Moné uses ring ropes to get the win.

The AEW Women’s World Championship was up for grabs at the 2026 Full Gear pay-per-view. The Death Riders’ Marina Shafir challenged Mercedes Moné for the belt. It was Moné’s third defense of her current reign, which started at All In.

During the bout, Moné did a dive to the outside, but Shafir countered into the Mother’s Milk submission. Moné tapped out, but it was not in the ring.

Shafir paid tribute to the Death Riders by using the late Benjamin Satterley, a.k.a. PAC‘s ‘Brutalizer’ submission, and Claudio Castagnoli’s signature swing.

Moné would put the Brutalizer on Shafir, but Shafir flipped it on Moné. Moné was then able to get a pin on Shafir and used the ring ropes to gain leverage while referee Aubrey Edwards was not aware.
