Mercedes Mon isnt here for your downfall narratives. After suffering her first major defeat in Ring of Honordropping the ROH Womens World Television Championship to Red Velvet at Final Battlethe CEO of AEW and ROHs womens division had a raw and emotional reaction on social media.
The match itself was packed with backstory. Red Velvet had been sidelined with a serious neck and shoulder injury earlier this year, which allowed Mon to capture the interim ROH Womens World TV Title. Eventually, the two collided in a high-stakes unification match during an AEW Dynamite/Collision crossover, where Mon emerged as the undisputed champion. That made Velvets loss stingand her comeback all the more dramatic.
At Final Battle, Mon looked to have the match locked down with her signature submission, the Statement Maker. But Velvet reversed it into a pinning combination off the ropes, scoring a stunning three-count and reclaiming the title she never officially lost.
But thats not what had fans talking most. Shortly after the loss, AEW wrestler Rhio posted, The downfall has begun!!! See you next weekend @MercedesVarnado tagging her in the process. Mercedes wasted no time clapping back, writing, SHUT UP
That sharp reply was followed by a series of cryptic posts just minutes apart, adding even more intrigue to her mental state following the loss.
It was the first title Mon has lost since leaving WWE, and it clearly hit hard. While she still holds accolades across AEW and NJPW, this defeat was a reality check that the ROH division isnt hers to dominate unchecked. Red Velvet now sits at the top of the womens TV title scene, while Mon is left to reset and respondin and out of the ring.
Whether this marks a turning point or just a temporary setback for Mon remains to be seen. But one things clear: shes not here for disrespect, and shes not afraid to let it be known.
