Thekla confronts Mercedes Moné during AEW Women's World Championship celebration

"

Mercedes Mone finally won the AEW women’s world championship by defeating Willow Nightingale on Sunday at All In London. The CEO had her official title celebration on tonight’s (Sept. 2) Dynamite. Many of the fans were behind Mercedes as she talked up her trailblazing accomplishments in women’s wrestling across major companies around the world. However, she got them booing her again when she dumped on Willow for breaking her nose in the title match. Mone revealed what her face looks like now, and some fans actually chanted “You deserve it!” NEW AEW Women's World Champion @MercedesVarnado addresses her #AEWAllIn London opponent @WillowWrestles!

Thekla had the line of the segment when she said, “If there’s one thing I hate more than a dumb bitch, it’s another dumb bitch calling other people dumb bitch. You dumb bitch!” "Just let me know when you're ready to give me my title back!"@Toxic_Thekla raises a glass to NEW AEW Women's World Champion @MercedesVarnado!

AEW does have its All Out pay-per-view coming up on Sept. 26 in Chicago, so perhaps that’s where it will go down. What did you think of Mercedes and Thekla’s work on the mic tonight, Cagesiders? Should this title match be the main event of whichever AEW show it takes place on? Catch up on all the results from Dynamite in our live blog right here.
