This Saturday, fans will be treated to the final part of AEW’s winter tour to the UK with two big Continental Classic bouts that could determine who will and who will not advance to the semi-finals. With the tease that Eddie Kingston will be in action after his loss to Samoa Joe at Winter is Coming, plus Mercedes Mone putting her Rev Pro Undisputed British Women’s Championship on the line against some “local” talent, the stage is set for a Saturday night that’s alright for fightin’!
Mercedes Mone is riding the momentum after a big tag team victory with her frenemy, Athena. Yet, as Corey Michaels discussed with his examination of Mone and the spiritual belief of Aparigraha, the CEO is carrying baggage. Despite all her gold, despite topping the PWI 2025 Women’s 250 List, the cracks have formed in Mone’s mask since her second failed attempt to capture the AEW Women’s World Championship. Failing to advance with Athena in the AEW Women’s World Tag Team Championship tournament and failing at ROH’s Final Battle to defend her ROH Women’s Television Championship against Red Velvet. Failure is a recurring issue.
The problem of being at the top is that eventually you must fall. The hate and politics that have been thrown at Mone will again prove superficial when Rev Pro, one of the UK’s top indy promotions, will have its championship spotlighted on international TV and also defended on home soil. This will be Mone’s fifth time, her second in a week after defending the belt on Sunday night in Cardiff. Mones seems to be working overtime to prove something to someone in the storyline. The UK has a wealth of excellent female wrestlers.
