Mercedes Mone is set to defend her title in a major match at an upcoming event. Dustin Rhodes has now revealed how he will be involved in the bout.
Mone has dominated AEW as the TBS Champion and been unstoppable since she debuted in the company. With AEW Grand Slam 2025 around the corner, Harley Cameron mentioned that she wanted a title shot against The CEO in her home country. On the February 8th episode of Collision, Cameron officially challenged Mone to a title match in Australia which the latter accepted. Since then, the bout has been made official for AEW Grand Slam Australia.
Speaking on the Battleground podcast, Dustin Rhodes revealed that he will take on the role of coach and producer for the match between Harley Cameron and Mercedes Mone.
"She is. I think this is going to be a big step for her in Australia with Mercedes. It’s going to be a heck of a match. I’m actually coaching that match, producing it, as well as wrestling that night. It should be a lot of fun. Harley is doing an outstanding job." [H/T Fightful]
