Mercedes kicked off AEW Dynamite Big Business with a powerful address to her hometown crowd in Boston, proudly assuming the role of CEO and making her presence felt from the outset.

She concluded the show in a spectacular fashion, coming to the aid of Willow Nightingale in a thrilling showdown against Julia Hart & Skye Blue, leaving an indelible mark on her debut and signaling her intent to make a significant impact in AEW.
