Summary
Aug. 30 will bring Willow Nightingale’s first AEW Women’s World Championship defense, with Mercedes Moné challenging at All In at Wembley Stadium in London.
Nightingale earned the spot by beating Thekla for the title at Redemption in July, while Moné secured the match by winning the Owen Hart Foundation Women’s Tournament.
32-year-old Nightingale said the championship only fully sank in after the post-Redemption Dynamite and called a successful defense against Moné the real test of her reign.
Moné’s popularity could split the Wembley crowd, Nightingale said, adding that mental toughness will be crucial in a stadium match against the former TBS champion who once held that belt for 584 days.
The title defense caps Nightingale’s rise since joining AEW in 2021, moving from Dark and tag matches to a marquee world-title bout at the promotion’s biggest annual show.
