While all the abovementioned bouts are quite anticipated, the TBS Title contest will probably receive some special attention. Mercedes Moné is going to enter the arena with more momentum than Harley Cameron. However, if Tony Khan books the Australian star to become the new champion, the wrestling world will erupt.

Here are four reasons why Mercedes Mone’s AEW TBS Title reign should end at Grand Slam: Australia.
#4 Mercedes Mone’s AEW TBS Title reign has been underwhelming
Mercedes Mone is one of the Tony Khan-led company's biggest signings to date. She has won numerous accolades throughout her career and is undoubtedly an incredible in-ring talent. She won the TBS Championship last year by defeating Willow Nightingale at Double or Nothing.
Unfortunately, even though she has held the gold for 250 days, her reign has been underwhelming, thanks to her booking. However, a championship change at this point might make the TBS Title picture much more interesting.
#3 & #2 Tony Khan needs to push homegrown talent and it's a good occasion for a title change
Tony Khan has been booking homegrown AEW talents to thrive ever since the inception of the company. He has managed to create new stars in the form of MJF, 'Hangman' Adam Page, Darby Allin, Britt Baker, Daniel Garcia, and more. However, the company is currently dominated by former WWE names.
Tony Khan needs to create yet another homegrown star, and Harley Cameron is the perfect candidate.
Another reason why The CEO should drop the TBS Title at Grand Slam Australia is because the occasion is quite special. This is the company's first show in the country and an Australian winning a championship in her home country will make for a memorable moment.
#1 A much needed feel-good moment
All Elite Wrestling has faced a lot of tribulations over the last several months. The company's reputation has taken a toll due to multiple reasons. However, the damage is repairable.
Tony Khan has to focus on long-term storytelling and avoid pointless booking decisions. Furthermore, feel-good moments might help gradually fix the promotion's image. This can begin with Harley Cameron winning gold at Grand Slam: Australia.
