Sunday night at REVOLUTION 2025, TBS Champion Mercedes Moné will put her title on the line against Momo Watanabe, the Stardom athlete’s prize for winning the International Women’s Cup at WRESTLE DYNASTY 2025 on January 5th. To be more accurate, as a result of the victory Momo had a choice of which title to challenge for from those in CMLL, ROH, and AEW, and she made her choice known at GRAND SLAM: AUSTRALIA.
Suffice to say Moné was less than pleased about being called out and there’s not doubt she’ll continue to express that feeling when she joins the commentary team for tonight’s battle pitting Momo against “The Professor” Serena Deeb! We haven’t seen the highly decorated Stardom competitor compete inside an AEW ring since the FORBIDDEN DOOR 2024: ZERO HOUR, so tonight will serve as a reminder of just what Momo is capable of inside the squared circle. However, she faces tough competition in “The Woman of 1,000 Holds” Serena Deeb, and Mercedes seems to be banking on Deeb inflicting pain on this founding member of Stardom’s H.A.T.E unit. Perhaps Mercedes forgot that it’s an acronym for Harass, Abuse, Terrorize, Eradicate and Momo isn’t the one to just take a beating. She no doubt aims to use this fight with Deeb as a way to send Mercedes a message as “The CEO” sits ringside on commentary. She may have fought Momo before, and gotten the victory, but that doesn’t mean round two will look the same as round one…
