Mercedes Mone claims her AEW Full Gear match with Kris Statlander made history.
At Full Gear on November 23rd, Mercedes Mone defended her TBS Championship against Kris Statlander in a match that many are calling Mone’s best since arriving in AEW. Legendary broadcaster Jim Ross praised the bout, saying we’ve finally seen the best Mone has to offer after previously being critical of her presentation in the company.
Mone herself called the Full Gear match the second favorite of her entire career, and writing in the latest edition of Mone Mag, she claimed the match set a new company record as the longest women’s match in All Elite Wrestling’s five year history.
“Our match set a new record as the longest women’s match in AEW history, and it was an honor to be part of such a monumental moment. As we went toe-to-toe, the intensity only grew, and I knew we were creating something special in that ring. There’s a certain camaraderie that develops when you share the canvas with someone who brings out the best in you, and I felt that with Kris.”
