Mercedes Moné Responds to Backlash Over Winning 11th Title at AEW WrestleDream

Mercedes Moné made history at AEW WrestleDream 2025 by winning her 11th championship, breaking the long-standing record held by Ultimo Dragon. But not everyone was celebrating. As soon as the match ended, the backlash online erupted—and Mercedes responded exactly the way you’d expect.

After defeating Mina Shirakawa in a TBS Title Open Challenge, Mercedes walked out of the pay-per-view with both the AEW TBS Title and the interim ROH Women’s Television Championship. The match was billed as title-for-title, and the result didn’t surprise many, but it didn’t stop the Internet Wrestling Community from piling on with criticism.

Instead of staying silent, Mercedes logged onto Twitter and threw shade right back. She posted a zoomed-in image of a fan in the crowd who looked furious at her win and used it to mock her critics.

“The IWC every time I win a title! 🤣🤑”

Mercedes didn’t stop there. After securing her 11th title, she went a step further and claimed to be superior to Ultimo Dragon—a comment that lit a fire under wrestling purists who view the Japanese legend as untouchable.

The backlash didn’t seem to faze her one bit. If anything, it’s fueling her momentum. Moné has fully embraced her role as a lightning rod in the wrestling world—traveling from company to company, collecting titles, and riling up fans at every stop.

Whether fans cheer or boo, Mercedes Moné continues to rack up belts and remind everyone she’s not backing down from the spotlight—or the hate.
