The rivalry between "Timeless" Toni Storm and "The CEO" Mercedes Moné is arguably the most compelling and high-stakes feud in professional wrestling today, a clash of two generational talents who have both ascended to the very top of All Elite Wrestling (AEW). As of December 2025, both women hold major gold, with Toni Storm reigning as the AEW Women's World Champion and Mercedes Moné holding the TBS Championship, setting the stage for an inevitable, history-making rematch that fans are clamoring for. Their first major singles encounter at AEW All In 2024—a match steeped in drama, celebrity, and high-octane action—was merely the opening chapter in what promises to be a defining saga for the AEW women's division.

The tension has only escalated since their initial bout, with Mercedes Moné recently shutting down any immediate talk of a rematch, a move that has only fueled fan curiosity and speculation about when and where the next confrontation will take place. This isn't just a feud over a championship; it is a battle for the soul of the women’s division, pitting Storm’s vintage Hollywood glamour against Moné’s modern, corporate-boss swagger, promising a narrative that transcends the wrestling ring and captivates the entire sports entertainment world.

Biographies and Career Profiles: The Champions

To understand the magnitude of the Toni Storm vs. Mercedes Moné rivalry, one must first appreciate the decorated careers and contrasting paths that led them to their current positions as two of AEW’s most dominant champions.

Storm's current persona is a black-and-white Hollywood starlet, a caricature of vintage glamour supported by her loyal cohort, Mariah May. The "Timeless" Toni Storm character is one of the hottest acts in wrestling, known for her dramatic flair, theatrical entrances, and the devastating Storm Zero finishing move.

Mercedes Moné: "The CEO"

  • Ring Name: Mercedes Moné
  • Birth Name: Mercedes Justine Kaestner-Varnado
  • Born: January 26, 1992 (Age: 33 as of late 2025)
  • Nationality: American
  • Major Promotions: WWE (as Sasha Banks), NJPW, CMLL, All Elite Wrestling (AEW)

  • Current Status: AEW TBS Champion and "The CEO" of professional wrestling, a moniker reflecting her business-savvy and dominant in-ring style.

Moné's persona embodies a powerful, global executive—the CEO of her own life and the wrestling industry. Her high-profile signing with AEW was one of the biggest stories of the year, immediately elevating her to a main-event player and a dominant force in the women's division.

The Defining Clash at AEW All In 2024

The anticipation for Toni Storm vs. Mercedes Moné reached a fever pitch leading up to AEW All In, the company's massive stadium show. This was the first time the two women had met in a major singles match since Moné arrived in AEW, and it was for the prestigious AEW Women's World Championship.

The match itself was a psychological masterpiece, pitting Storm's erratic, theatrical antics against Moné's focused, aggressive offense. Moné, despite being a champion in her own right (later becoming TBS Champion), was positioned as the kayfabe challenger and, by some measures, the underdog in this particular title defense.

In a shocking and definitive finish, Toni Storm defeated Mercedes Moné, retaining her championship after landing a massive Storm Zero from the ropes. The victory solidified Storm’s reign and handed Moné her first major setback in her AEW singles career, creating an immediate and compelling reason for a rematch. The two women also recently clashed in a tag team match where Moné and Athena defeated Storm and Alex Windsor, keeping the rivalry simmering.

5 Reasons the Rematch is Inevitable and Essential

Despite Mercedes Moné's recent comments shutting down the idea of a rematch, the narrative threads and the current championship landscape make a second major singles encounter a virtual certainty. The following reasons highlight why this feud is the most important story in the women's division.

1. The Clash of Champions: Title vs. Title Potential

With Toni Storm holding the AEW Women's World Championship and Mercedes Moné holding the TBS Championship, the stage is perfectly set for a Champion vs. Champion, Title Unification, or "Winner Takes All" match. This would be a blockbuster main event for any AEW pay-per-view, instantly elevating the prestige of both the Women's World Title and the TBS Title. A match of this magnitude would draw significant mainstream attention and be a major selling point for AEW.

2. The Unfinished Business of All In

The All In match, while a great contest, ended with a decisive Storm victory that many fans felt was a setup for a longer feud. Moné's persona as "The CEO" demands that she settles the score and reclaims her dominance after a rare high-profile loss. Her dismissal of the rematch is a classic wrestling tactic, a way to build tension and make the eventual confrontation a monumental event. The sting of the All In loss is the driving force behind Moné's current path, making the eventual rematch a mission of redemption.

3. The 'Timeless' vs. 'The CEO' Character Contrast

The personas of both wrestlers offer a perfect, dramatic foil. Toni Storm is the melodramatic, old-school Hollywood diva, constantly seeking validation and attention, with her entourage (Mariah May and Luther) catering to her every whim. Mercedes Moné is the stoic, hyper-professional, modern-day boss who views Storm's antics as beneath her. This contrast in character—glamour vs. grit, chaos vs. control—provides endless storytelling possibilities that resonate with a wide audience.

4. The Pursuit of Global Dominance

Mercedes Moné has made her mission clear: to be a globally dominant force, having conquered Japan (IWGP) and now holding the TBS Championship. To truly solidify her claim as the best in the world, she must defeat the undisputed top champion of her current promotion, which is Toni Storm. Likewise, Storm’s "Timeless" persona is about cementing her legacy, and a successful defense against a global superstar like Moné would ensure her place in wrestling history as an all-time great.

5. The Fan Demand and Critical Acclaim

The first match was met with immense fan excitement and critical praise, with many calling it a potential Match of the Year contender. The chemistry between Toni Storm and Mercedes Moné is undeniable, and the audience knows that a second match, with the added stakes of both women holding championships, would surpass their first encounter. AEW's booking strategy relies heavily on delivering matches the fans want to see, and a Storm vs. Moné rematch is at the very top of that list, ensuring it will be a major event when it finally happens.

What’s Next for the Champions?

While the rematch remains a question of "when" not "if," both champions are currently focused on their respective title reigns. Toni Storm continues to reign supreme as the AEW Women's World Champion, fending off challengers with the help of her "Storm Brigade." Meanwhile, Mercedes Moné, "The CEO," is not only defending her TBS Championship but is also pursuing the AEW Women's Tag Team Titles with her partner, Athena.

The path for both women is one of continued dominance, but their orbits are destined to cross again. Whether it is at a major pay-per-view like Double or Nothing, All Out, or even a return to All In in London, the second singles match between "Timeless" Toni Storm and "The CEO" Mercedes Moné will undoubtedly be the biggest women's match in AEW history, a true clash of champions that will define the era.
