Mercedes Mone On Critics Of Her Belt Collecting: Why Would I Acknowledge The Critics? The Goal Is Shown
Over her past two years in AEW, Mercedes Mone has been collecting championships across the world.
Before a couple of losses in the month of December, Mercedes was up to 13 physical titles, winning titles in AEW, ROH, RevPro, CMLL, and more.
There have been a number of criticisms of Mone’s belt collecting, but Mone isn’t concerned about it.
“Why would I acknowledge the critics? The goal is shown. It’s been shown. For the people that can’t see it, it’s on them,” Mercedes wrote in the Mone Mag.
Mone has stepped into the ring for promotions and talent that were under the radar or potentially unheard of before her appearance.
Reflecting on her 2025, Mercedes listed some names who stood out when they were in the ring against her.
“One of my favorite discoveries was Aliss Link from Denmark. Her style is unlike anything I’ve experienced—creative, sharp, and unpredictable. One of my favorite independent matches of the year came against her, and trust me when I say: Aliss Link is someone you need to keep your eyes on.
“Kanji from the UK, wrestling for RevPro, twisted me into shapes I didn’t even know my body could bend into. She proudly calls herself the female Zack Sabre Jr., and for good reason. Wrestling her felt like a high-level chess match—one I can’t wait to play again.
“Then there’s Emersyn Jayne from Scotland. Don’t let appearances fool you. Her intensity, agility, and ferocity were unreal. She represented her country with pride, holding the Discovery Pro Championship for over 1,000 days. But as the CEO of women’s wrestling, I study my opponents like no other— and I always find a way to win.”
Mercedes Mone is down to 10 physical championship titles: the AEW TBS Championship, CMLL World Women’s Championship, Discovery Wrestling Scottish Women’s Championship, EWA Women’s Championship (Austria), PTW Women’s Championship (Poland), BestYa Women’s Championship (Italy), the Bodyslam Women’s Championship (Denmark), WPW Women’s Championship (Canada), APAC Women’s Championship (Malaysia) and the 2025 Owen Hart Foundation Championship.
