Mercedes Mone recently completed her first year in AEW. She made her debut at Dynamite Big Business in March last year. In the past year, she's faced many top talents in the promotion but never crossed paths with Deonna Purrazzo. The latter has now seemingly laid out a challenge for her.

The Virtuosa, who was with WWE from 2014 to 2017, recently sat down for an interview with Vice, where she called out the TBS Champion for a dream submission match during the interview.

“My dream match is Mercedes Mone versus 'The Virtuosa' Deonna Purrazzo in a submission match. And I feel like, for both of us, submissions are the cornerstone of our careers. Bringing that to life at AEW I feel might be a first for the women’s division. I could be wrong. But [it] would be so unique and a different story to tell. We’re two of the most submission-based women in our division that could accomplish that.” [H/T Vice]

The CEO reacted to her challenge on Instagram and seemingly accepted the proposal to fight her in AEW. She even threatened to break her bones if and when the two would meet inside the ring.

The erstwhile Sasha Banks threatened, "Just tell me what body part you want me to break!"
