Mercedes Moné Joins Owen Hart Tournament Before Heated Confrontation on AEW Collision

Mercedes Moné isn’t just chasing gold anymore—she’s now eyeing the Owen Hart Cup.

On the March 29 episode of AEW Collision, Moné stepped into the ring against Robyn Renegade in Robyn’s debut matchup—and made a statement in her first face-to-face with one-half of the rumored Renegade alliance. After putting Robyn away in a solid match, Mercedes grabbed the mic for a post-match interview with Tony Schiavone and dropped a bombshell.

“I’m entering the Owen Hart Tournament,” she said confidently, before making her goal crystal clear. “And I’m going to win it… and then I’m coming for the AEW Women’s World Championship.”

Schiavone also announced that rising star Billie Starkz would join the tournament as well, but Mercedes didn’t seem too concerned. That confidence didn’t last long though.

Seconds later, Athena made her presence known—storming the ring and confronting Moné. The ROH Women’s Champion didn’t wait for a handshake or promo segment. She just put Mercedes down hard and left her scrambling outside the ring, furious and visibly shaken.

The confrontation may have spoiled the celebration, but it definitely lit the fuse on a potential showdown between two of AEW’s most decorated women. Moné has already racked up 300 days as TBS Champion and captured gold in NJPW and RevPro—but now she has to survive the Owen Hart Tournament and keep her head on a swivel for Athena.

Can Mercedes Moné survive the Owen Hart bracket with a target on her back? And are we looking at a future AEW dream match between Moné and Athena? Drop your take in the comments—we want to hear what you think.
