Mercedes Mone will have one more title defense before she
wrestles at Forbidden Door for the IWGP Strong Women’s title
later this month.

AEW President Tony Khan announced that the TBS champion will
be facing CMLL’s Zeuxis next week on Dynamite and if Zeuxis
wins, she then takes Mone’s place on the pay-per-view card
against Stephanie Vaquer.

The 35-year-old Puerto Rican has never wrestled for AEW and
this will be her debut match there. In 2018 she was part of
the Mae Young Classic tournament, losing in the second round
to Io Shirai.

AEW and CMLL have strengthened their relationship over the
past several months and CMLL will be featured as well in the
Forbidden Door pay-per-view.
