During the latest episode of AEW Dynamite, Mercedes Moné successfully defended her TBS Championship against Hikaru Shida, marking their first-ever match. Despite a strong showing from Shida, who had moments of dominance, interference from Kamille proved decisive in favor of Moné. After using Shida's kendo stick to distract the referee, Moné capitalized on the opportunity to land her finishing move, the Moné Maker, securing the victory. The match set the stage for Moné's upcoming title defense against Dr. Britt Baker at the All In event. Shida, a former champion, continues to work towards reclaiming her position in AEW, showcasing her improved promo skills and in-ring abilities. The episode also featured other notable matches as AEW builds momentum toward the All In pay-per-view.
