One AEW star is beyond proud of her recent match at Full Gear.
At Full Gear on November 23rd, Mercedes Mone defended her TBS Championship against Kris Statlander in a bout that some are calling Mone’s best since joining AEW. Writing in the latest Mone Mag, it seems Mercedes herself agrees.
“Wow! What an incredible night at AEW Full Gear. I’m still buzzing from the electrifying atmosphere and the unforgettable matches that unfolded, but there’s one moment that has etched itself into my heart and mind—the jaw-dropping showdown between me and Kris Statlander. It might just be my second favorite match of my entire career!”
Continuing, the former Sasha Banks praised Statlander’s strength and tenacity, saying the star pushed Mone to her limits.
“Kris Statlander truly impressed me. She embodies strength and determination, and I was blown away by her willpower. She brought everything she had to the ring, pulling out all the stops trying to take me down. Her tenacity was something to behold, and it’s clear that she’s a force to be reckoned with in the AEW women’s division. While I’ve always said that Willow Nightingale is the heart and soul of our division, Kris is undeniably its strength. She pushed me to my limits in a way that made me appreciate her talent even more.
The energy in the arena was electric as the bell rang, and I could feel the anticipation build with every second. When the announcement came through, ‘And still…’ with over 10,000 fans on their feet chanting ‘AEW’ it was pure magic. That moment felt like a culmination of everything I’ve worked for, and the roar of the crowd was a symphony of support that I’ll never forget.”
