Reigning AEW TBS Champion, Mercedes Mone (fka Sasha Banks) has achieved a huge milestone in her career. Congratulations go out to The CEO on her achievement.
Mercedes Mone can be considered one of the greatest female wrestlers of all time given the accolades in her career. She gained prominence during her time in WWE from 2012 to 2022. She also had a brief run in NJPW before making her AEW debut earlier this year.
Mercedes defeated Willow Nightingale in her All Elite in-ring debut at Double or Nothing to become the TBS Champion. She has overcome a number of obstacles while holding the title, defending it against challengers such as Britt Baker and Hikaru Shida. Her TBS title reign has lasted 177 days so far, which is longer than any of her six singles title reigns on the WWE main roster.

The CEO took to her Instagram handle to share her new achievement. Mone also urged the fans to celebrate her longest title reign by writing the following in her recent story:
"Leave a [celebrating and heart emoji] To celebrate my longest championship reign."
Moreover, Mercedes has also been the NJPW Strong Women's Champion for 142 days so far. She won the title by defeating Stephanie Vaquer at Forbidden Door earlier this year.
Mercedes Mone is set to defend her AEW TBS Title this weekend
Ever since becoming the TBS Champion, Mercedes Mone has been successfully defending her title on major pay-per-views. However, she has yet to defend her title on a PPV since retaining against Hikaru Shida at AEW All Out.
Meanwhile, The CEO is scheduled to defend her TBS Title against Kris Statlander at Full Gear this Saturday. The feud between Mone and Statlander has been brutal with multiple backstage fights.
Moreover, it remains to be seen if Mercedes manages to retain her title again or if it will be the end of her reign at Full Gear.
