The first match for the Double or Nothing 2024 pay-per-view
was made official last night after Willow Nightingale became
the new TBS champion after she defeated Julia Hart.
New arrival Mercedes Mone will get first dibs despite not
having wrestled once yet on AEW television and will make her
in-ring debut at the Las Vegas pay-per-view next month.
Mone, decked in a long purple dress, did appear at Dynasty
and came to the ring after Nightingale won the match for a
face-to-face with the new champion.
The two have history together dating back to last May when
they wrestled for the inaugural NJPW Strong Women’s title.
Mone was supposed to win the match but broke her foot during
the match, changing the outcome on the fly and Nightingale
ended up winning the title.
This is Nightingale’s first run with a title in AEW.
Mone’s lack of in-ring time might be due to the fact that
she might not be cleared yet. At the post-show press
conference, AEW President Tony Khan was quizzed if Mone is
cleared and said that she will be for the May pay-per-view.
