Mercedes Mon made history at AEW WrestleDream 2025 by winning her 11th championship, breaking the long-standing record held by Ultimo Dragon. But not everyone was celebrating. As soon as the match ended, the backlash online eruptedand Mercedes responded exactly the way youd expect.
After defeating Mina Shirakawa in a TBS Title Open Challenge, Mercedes walked out of the pay-per-view with both the AEW TBS Title and the interim ROH Womens Television Championship. The match was billed as title-for-title, and the result didnt surprise many, but it didnt stop the Internet Wrestling Community from piling on with criticism.
Instead of staying silent, Mercedes logged onto Twitter and threw shade right back. She posted a zoomed-in image of a fan in the crowd who looked furious at her win and used it to mock her critics.
Mercedes didnt stop there. After securing her 11th title, she went a step further and claimed to be superior to Ultimo Dragona comment that lit a fire under wrestling purists who view the Japanese legend as untouchable.
The backlash didnt seem to faze her one bit. If anything, its fueling her momentum. Mon has fully embraced her role as a lightning rod in the wrestling worldtraveling from company to company, collecting titles, and riling up fans at every stop.
Whether fans cheer or boo, Mercedes Mon continues to rack up belts and remind everyone shes not backing down from the spotlightor the hate.
