AEW WrestleDream 2025 was already historic when Mercedes Mone captured her 11th championship, surpassing Ultimo Dragon’s long-standing record. But she didn’t stop at simply breaking the record—she doubled down with a bold statement on social media right after the match.
Following her title-for-title victory over ROH Women’s Television Champion Mina Shirakawa, Mone took to Twitter and delivered a direct shot at Ultimo Dragon while celebrating her milestone.
“Último Moné > Ultimo Dragon 💰💰💰💰💰💰💰💰💰💰💰💰💰💰💰💰💰💰💰”
By renaming herself “Ultimo Mone” and now declaring she’s greater than Ultimo Dragon, Mone made it clear she sees this record as more than just a number—it’s a passing of the torch moment in pro wrestling history.
Her win came after a hard-fought match where she used a roll-up with her foot on the ropes to secure the victory, only to be confronted by Kris Statlander moments later. Still, it was her words after the match that made headlines, turning her achievement into a bold claim of supremacy.
