Kris Statlander challenges Mercedes Mone for the gold.
At AEW Worlds End, Mercedes Mone defended the AEW TBS Championship against Kris Statlander in a rematch of their clash at AEW Full Gear. Much as they did in their first bout, they battled back and forth.
Statlander proved to be a tough challenger, as she refused to stay down. Mone hit her with a Mon Make and a piledriver on the apron.
Brutal.
