Mercedes Moné's fourth title defense since becoming the TBS Champion has been made official for AEW Dynamite 250 next week after a certain former women's champion answered her open challenge tonight on Collision. This would be Nyla Rose.

The CEO issued an open challenge for the special episode of Dynamite but added a unique stipulation. She mentioned that despite this being an open challenge, everyone except Dr. Britt Baker D.M.D could accept it.

Tonight, during a backstage interview with Lexy Nair, Nyla Rose officially accepted the open challenge. This would be her first time challenging for the TBS title. Moments later, a graphic for the match flashed on-screen, making this official.

Nyla is the second AEW Women's Champion. After falling short to Riho to become the inaugural champion in October 2019, she captured the title a few months later on February 12, 2020. Although she has not had a major title run ever since, she has cemented herself as one of the top stars in the promotion's history, with 60 singles wins on her belt.

However, Mercedes Moné has been on a hot run since her in-ring debut on the promotion, and it doesn't seem like she'll slow down anytime soon.
