The match not only solidified her position as the TBS champion but also broke the record for the longest women’s match in AEW history, clocking in at an impressive 24 minutes.
Kris Statlander, determined to reclaim the title she lost, brought renewed energy to the match. Displaying confidence early with bold moves like a kip-up, she quickly earned Moné’s respect. However, the champion was unwilling to yield her crown. Mercedes Moné focused her strategy on exploiting Statlander’s vulnerabilities, targeting her back with methodical attacks, including seven consecutive suplexes that set the tone for the bout.
The action quickly spilled outside the ring, with both wrestlers testing their limits. Moné landed a devastating Mone Maker on the outside, nearly sealing the victory. Instead of accepting the count-out, “The CEO” showcased her sadistic side, breaking the count to trap Statlander’s foot in the ring scaffolding. Despite this, Statlander displayed resilience, delivering two F5s to Moné before suffering a brutal piledriver on the apron.

While Mercedes Moné left the ring as the reigning TBS Champion, extending her reign to 216 days, Kris Statlander exited to a standing ovation. The match marked a significant milestone, breaking the previous record for the longest women’s match in AEW history, doubling the duration of the legendary Tijuana Street Fight between Mariah May and Thunder Rosa.
