• Real Reason Mercedes Moné Keeps On Winning Titles
Mercedes Moné’s recent string of championship victories across multiple independent promotions isn’t part of any grand personal strategy – it’s simply good business.
According to Fightful Select, the AEW TBS Women’s Champion isn’t actively campaigning to win titles outside of All Elite Wrestling. Instead, independent promotions are reaching out to her management team, looking to capitalize on the star power she brings to their events.
Promoters reportedly approach Moné’s team with the intention of featuring her prominently – often wanting her to win their championship for maximum visibility and media attention. Once both sides agree on her appearance fee, everything is finalized from there.
Fightful clarified that the arrangement isn’t Moné pushing for victories; rather, it’s the promotions themselves who choose to put her over. “They know what they’re doing,” the report stated, adding that these companies are fully aware of the value she brings as a global name.
As for her potential to face Marina Shafir in DEFY Wrestling for their title, the outlet noted it’s possible – but only if the promotion meets Moné’s booking rate.
While some fans were surprised to hear she charges $25,000 per appearance, Fightful pointed out that this is in line with what many top-tier AEW names command for outside bookings, with some refusing to work for anything less than $30,000.
Mercedes is looking to capture her 13th title at House Of Glory Superclash on November 15th, where she will face Nor “Phoenix” Diana for the APAC Wrestling Women’s Championship.
At AEW’s Full Gear 2025 PPV on November 22nd, Mercedes will challenge Kris Statlander for the AEW Women’s World Championship.
• Logan Paul Takes A Shot At CM Punk’s UFC Record
After losing to John Cena at Clash In Paris, Logan Paul returned on this week’s episode of WWE RAW to go after the new World Heavyweight Champion, CM Punk. He initially helped The Best In The World against The Vision, but turned on him in the main event by taking him out with brass knuckles.
During his latest vlog on YouTube, Paul explained why he wants the World Heavyweight Championship. The former United States Champion took a shot at Punk’s unsuccessful run as an MMA fighter, while hyping himself up as a credible contender.
“My theory is, if a guy who is 0-2 in the UFC has that title, and I beat Floyd Mayweather, why can’t I get that title? That’s why I’m here.”
Logan Paul is expected to team up with Bron Breakker and “Big” Bronson Reed at Survivor Series: WarGames later this month.
