AEW Announces Potential Change To Mercedes Mone Plans

Tony Khan has announced that there could be a change to big match at the AEW Forbidden Door pay-per-view involving Mercedes Mone.

Forbidden Door on June 30 will see Mercedes Mone vs Stephanie Vaquer in a Winner Takes All Match on June 30, 2024.

The match will see Mone’s AEW TBS Championship and Vaquer’s NJPW Strong Women’s Championship on the line with the victor holding both titles.

However, AEW CEO Tony Khan announced that stipulation could change depending on a new match announced for AEW Dynamite on June 12 in Des Moines.

Khan announced the match for the upcoming episode of AEW Dynamite through his own Twitter account, posting:

“If @ZeuxisLucero wins the TBS Championship from Mercedes Moné on Wednesday Night in Des Moines at #AEWDynamite on TBS, + she then takes the title to @CMLL_OFICIAL, then @Steph_Vaquer vs @MercedesVarnado at #ForbiddenDoor will be for the @njpw1972 Strong Women’s Championship only!”

With the possibility of the AEW x NJPW Forbidden Door match being for just one championship, a fan commented that Vaquer should protest the upcoming Dynamite match.

In response to this suggestion, Khan replied by stating that “wrestling is a high stakes cutthroat business.”

Tony Khan also revealed that he books AEW for “sickos” and wanted the “bots” to wake up as AEW is having fun.
