Mercedes Mone rescues old rival on AEW Dynamite Big Business
As AEW Dynamite Big Business started with the debut of Mercedes Mone, it set the stage for a monumental main event. Willow Nightingale and Riho engaged in a thrilling contest, with Nightingale ultimately emerging victorious.
However, as Nightingale celebrated her win, the arena went into darkness, only to reveal AEW TBS champion Julia Hart eyeing her potential next challenger at the ramp. Suddenly, Hart’s ally Skye Blue launched a surprise attack on Nightingale, with Julia swiftly joining the fray.
Outnumbered and under attack, Nightingale found unexpected support in her former rival, Mercedes Mone, who emerged to even the odds and drove the assailants away. Following this act of solidarity, Nightingale graciously welcomed Mone back.
Fans may recall that Mone had endured an ankle injury during her match against Willow Nightingale last year in May at NJPW Resurgence, adding depth to the narrative of their reunion and Mone’s return to the ring.
