This week's edition of AEW Dynamite is the penultimate stop before the highly anticipated Dynasty pay-per-view this Sunday, and Tony Khan seems to be leaving no stone unturned in order to generate hype. The company announced today that recent signee Mercedes Mone will make an appearance on the Wednesday night show to address the chaos unfolding in the women's division.
Last week, Mercedes Mone was attacked by a mystery assailant during an interview segment. The CEO was left lying on the floor, moaning in pain. The attacker hasn't yet been identified, but Mercedes is determined to find out who it was.
AEW has advertised Mone for a segment on tomorrow night's Dynamite. The former WWE Superstar has her eyes on Julia Hart and Willow Nightingale, who will be battling for the former's TBS Championship this Sunday at Dynasty. She will also likely be on the lookout for Skye Blue, who could have attacked Mone on behalf of Julia Hart.
Mercedes Mone has indicated that she will challenge for the TBS Championship at AEW's next big pay-per-view, Double or Nothing. If Willow Nightingale has the title by then, the two could have a rematch of their May 2023 bout for the NJPW STRONG Women's Championship – a match Mone was injured in.
