Mercedes Moné wins Owen Hart Women’s Tournament at AEW Forbidden Door, earns All In title shot

Mercedes Moné returned to All Elite Wrestling (AEW) to take on the challenge of winning the Owen Hart Foundation Women’s Tournament for a second time and earning a title shot at All In.

On Sunday night at Forbidden Door, Moné proved again why she’s one of the best pro wrestlers in the world. She defeated upstart contender Maya World in the final.

World built momentum going into the match after the devastating loss of her brother. She defeated Skye Blue and Athena to get to the match against Moné. But her Cinderella run came to an abrupt end at the hands of Moné.

The fans seemed to be behind Moné as she taunted World at the start of the match. However, the two put on a great performance in front of the crowd in San Jose, California.

World pulled out all the stops – complicated pinning combinations, elaborate hard-hitting moves and even kicked out of Moné’s toughest slams. By the end of the match, the crowd was split on who they were rooting for in the match. Moné was trying not to get caught off guard by some of World’s maneuvers. At one point, World hit Moné with a sunset flip powerbomb onto the floor and a springboard moonsault.

Still, the "CEO" would not stay down.

Moné kicked out of a pin attempt. Moné hit a backstabber into a crossface. She made World tap out.

It’s the first time any AEW wrestler has won the Owen Cup twice. She’s done it in back-to-back years. Last year, she came up short against Toni Storm for the AEW World Women’s Championship.

Now, she’ll have to go up against Thekla should the "Toxic Spider" still be the champion come August.
