TBS Championship
Mercedes Mone (c) vs. Hikaru Shida

“The Dapper Yapper” Justin Roberts is shown in the ring. He begins the formal ring introductions for our opening contest, which is one of two championship bouts scheduled for tonight. The TBS Champion Mercedes Mone is introduced, and makes her way out accompanied by Kamille.

A confident “CEO” settles in the ring with “The Brickhouse” by her side, and raises her TBS Championship high in the air. The theme for her opponent hits, and out comes former AEW Women’s World Champion with her sights set on earning her way into the AEW ALL IN 2024 pay-per-view at Wembley Stadium.

Mone and Shida lock up at the bell. Mone breaks free and pie-faces Shida. Fans chant “Shi-da! Shi-da!” as she backs Mone into the ropes, and gives her a clean break. Shida hits a big move and looks to follow up, charging at Mone in the corner, but “The CEO” moves and gets Shida in a cross-face on the mat.

Shida hits a series of strikes and connects with a hurricanrana that brings Mone down to the mat. She climbs up on Mone and does the ten-punch spot on her in the corner. Shida takes Mone down with a side suplex into a cover for a count of two.

Mone crawls through the ropes for a word with Kamille, and then grabs Shida in the ropes and slams her face-first into the top turn buckle. Shida fights back, but then Kamille trips her up from ringside. Shida fights back with a tilt-a-whirl back-breaker to Mone.

The Japanese veteran sets Mone over the ring apron under the bottom rope and heads out to the floor. She backs up and gets ready to run, but Kamille stands in front of Mone to protect her. While distracted with that, Mone hits a big running Meteora off the ring apron to Shida on the floor.

On the ropes, Mone knocks Shida down and connects with another Meteora, this time in the ring. She immediately follows up with a cover, but only gets a count of two. Fans break out in dueling “Let’s go Shida!” and “C-E-O!” chants.

Mone hits a Three Amigos series of suplexes on Shida, who blocks the final one and counters with a falcon arrow for a two-count. Shida looks for her finisher, but Kamille pulls Mone out to the floor to save her. Shida hits Kamille with a dropkick and blasts her with “Kendo stick, Jones,” as Taz calls it. Gotta love Taz.

Kamille decks Shida from behind as Mone had the referee tied up in the ring. Mone immediately follows up by dragging a lifeless Shida into the ring and connecting with her Mone-Maker finisher for the pin fall victory. With the win, Mone retains her TBS title and moves on to the Britt Baker match at ALL IN.

Winner and STILL TBS Champion: Mercedes Mone

Britt Baker Strikes!

After the match, Kamille and Mone are celebrating in the ring when the familiar sounds of Dr. Britt Baker, D.M.D.’s theme hits. Kamille exits the ring and heads up the ramp to meet her, but Baker never comes out.

She thinks she sees her in a mask in the crowd, so she yanks her over the barricade and stomps her out, only to realize it’s not her. Baker emerges through the crowd on the other side of the ring, and slides into the ring behind Mone, who is holding a kendo stick and waiting for her.

Baker beats her down and looks to put her in her LockJaw finisher, but Kamille yanks Mone out to save her. The two stare each other down, while Baker poses with the TBS title, which Mone left in the ring while fleeing the scene.

Dr. Britt Baker, D.M.D. vs. Hikaru Shida

Inside the arena, the theme for Britt Baker hits and out she comes for her first match back in ten months. After she settles in the ring, the theme for her opponent, whom Schiavone calls Baker’s top rival, Hikaru Shida hits. Out she comes as highlights of their past battles are shown in split-screen.

The bell sounds and we’re officially off-and-running with this one. After some brief back-and-forth action, we shift gears and head into a mid-match commercial break. When we return, we see Baker settle into the lead. She slips the glove on for her finisher but Shida fights back.

Shida thinks about using a kendo stick but decides against it. Baker hits a big move and then slaps on the Lockjaw for the win. After the match, TBS and NJPW STRONG Women’s Champion Mercedes Mone comes out. She says everyone wants Baker vs. Mone at ALL IN, but she’s saying no. Kamille appears and lays out Baker and poses with Mone. We head to another break.

Winner: Dr. Britt Baker, D.M.D.

Britt Baker Interrupts Mercedes Mone’s Double Championship Celebration Again

Inside the arena, Mercedes Mone’s theme hits and out comes “The CEO” for her second attempt at a double championship celebration. She says there is extra security tonight because she refuses to be interrupted tonight.

She says Britt Baker won’t cut her off, because if she does, Mone will do a lot worse than give her a stroke. She says she’d leave her for dead and calls her a b*tch. Britt Baker’s theme hits and out she comes. A security guard stops her but she decks him.

Another steps up and she super kicks him. Baker gets to the ring but Mone exits and runs away as Baker climbs the ropes and stares her down at ringside. After this wraps up, we shift gears and head into another commercial break.

TBS & NJPW STRONG Women’s Championships
Mercedes Mone (C) vs. Stephanie Vaquer (C)

It’s time for the champion versus champion showdown between the TBS Champion of AEW and the NJPW STRONG Women’s Champion, as the pre-match video package airs to tell the story leading up to tonight’s highly-anticipated clash between Mercedes Mone and Stephanie Vaquer.

The video package wraps up and the theme for Vaquer hits. Out comes the reigning NJPW STRONG Women’s Champion for this winner-take-all high stakes co-main event match-up. She comes to the ring with multiple titles on her, as she also holds championships in CMLL.

Out next with the elaborate fireworks-filled ring entrance, is “The CEO” herself, Mrs. Creative Control Mercedes Mone. The bell sounds and we’re officially off-and-running with this one. After some initial back-and-forth action, we see Mone look for a cross-face submission.

Vaquer avoids it and gets her knees on each side of Mone’s head, where she proceeds to thrust forward, repeatedly bashing Mone’s dome into the mat. Mone takes over again from there, multiple times looking for her Mone-Maker finisher, only to come up short.

She gets the cross-face this time, but Vaquer counters into a submission attempt of her own. Mone hits two back-stabbers in a row and then tries to go to the top-rope, only for Vaquer to cut her off. Vaquer hits an intense dragon corkscrew off the ropes that elicits gasps from the crowd.

Stephanie Vaquer looks for double under-hooks for a big spot, but Mone avoids it. Mone hoists Vaquer up, but Vaquer escapes out the back door. Seconds later, Mone does hit her Mone-Maker finisher and follows up with the cross-face for the win. Mone is now the TBS and NJPW STRONG Women’s Champion.

After the match, the theme song for Dr. Britt Baker, D.M.D. hits and the crowd goes absolutely crazy as the former AEW Women’s Champion emerges for her long-awaited comeback. Fireworks erupt as she heads half-way down the ramp with her eyes locked on Mone, who is staring back at her with both of her titles held high.

Winner and TBS & NJPW STRONG Women’s Champion: Mercedes Mone
