Timeless Toni Storm made it clear that her reign as AEW Women’s World Champion may be lasting with a decisive victory over Mercedes Moné at All In: Texas on Saturday. Two of the best female wrestlers, Storm and Moné, faced off for the AEW Women’s World Championship, with Storm entering the match as the defending champion. She had recently won the title from Mariah May at Grand Slam Australia in February and had begun her fourth title reign. Moné, who had won the Owen Hart Foundation women’s tournament, was making her AEW debut and was already a TBS champion with multiple titles in other promotions.
The match was a highly competitive and entertaining contest, with both wrestlers displaying their skills and determination. Despite Moné’s efforts, including a series of high-risk maneuvers, she was unable to secure the pinfall. Storm’s strategic moves and powerful finishes, including her patented Storm Zero, ultimately secured the victory. Moné’s loss was her first singles loss since entering AEW, highlighting the strength of Storm’s performance.
Storm’s victory marked her third successful title defense, having defeated May, Megan Bayne, and Mina Shirakawa previously. However, a new challenger is emerging, with Athena extending her reign as the Ring of Honor world women’s champion to 945 days after successfully defending against Thunder Rosa. Athena’s victory in the women’s casino gauntlet at All In: Texas earned her a shot at the AEW Women’s World Championship, as she pinned Shirakawa in the match.
The match was a significant moment for the AEW women’s division, showcasing the fierce competition and the rising talents in the promotion. The weekend saw several other notable events, including Dustin Rhodes capturing the AEW TNT Championship and other wrestling highlights that added to the excitement of the weekend’s events.
