AEW Dynamite Spring BreakThru opened with Mercedes Mone taking on Athena in a semifinal matchup in the Owen Hart Foundation Women's Tournament.
“Before we even locked up, I was so overwhelmed,” Mone told Justin Barrasso for the Boston Herald. “I couldn’t even be Mercedes Moné the character – I was Mercedes Varnado taking it all in. As the crowd was cheering, I asked myself, ‘Is this really happening?’
The contest went just over 21 minutes and ended when Mercedes blocked the O Face, countering with a jacknife roll up for the win.
“It was everything I wanted and more, especially to do it against Athena. Even in defeat, Athena deserves her praise. She’s too talented to be denied," said Mercedes.
With the victory, Mercedes moves on to the finals of the tournament where she will face Kris Statlander or Jamie Hayter.
The winner of the tournament will challenge for the AEW Women's Championship, which is currently held by Toni Storm, at AEW All In.
