Willow Nightingale Wants To Win Back TBS Championship From Mercedes Mone, Is Focused On Winning Tag Team Gold First

Willow Nightingale wants to win back the TBS Championship.

Nightingale and Harley Cameron are set to face the duo of Mercedes Mone and Athena in the first round of the tournament that will crown the inaugural Women’s Tag Team Champions. There is a solid amount of history in AEW between Mone and Nightingale, as ‘The C.E.O’ took the TBS Championship from her at the Double Or Nothing pay-per-view in 2024.

Speaking with Rick Ucchino of The Takedown on Sports Illustrated, Nightingale talked about Mone’s recent success and how she is doing all it takes to be that person for AEW.

“I also think AEW has such a strong identity and I know so many people are rooting for the homegrowns and hey, listen, I root for us homegrowns too, but I think one of the key elements of All Elite Wrestling is passion and that is something that she just has pouring out of her. Do I want to be TBS Champion twelve belts person? Yeah, who doesn’t, right? We’re all doing this cause we want to be that. I can’t be angry that I’m not because she’s doing all it takes to be that person. She talks the talk and she walks the walk.”

When asked about a potential TBS Championship rematch, Nightingale noted that she’d love a crack at the title, but not before she wins tag team gold.

“Hell yeah. I mean, listen, yes, but I gotta get some tag titles first.”
