There's no chance Mercedes Mone takes a back seat to anybody now she has a belt, and that includes Toni Storm. Mone's newly-won TBS Title could become the featured female strap on TV soon. Y'know, if only by default, because Mercedes will get a generous amount of minutes on flagship programming like Dynamite for sure.

Answers on a postcard when it comes to guessing who Mone feuds with next, but we’ll all find out on TV this week. This fan would say that Mercedes has to embrace being a heel sooner rather than later, because her “CEO” stuff and general mannerisms? Far too obnoxious, and not in an endearing way like MJF.

She's a villain all day long. Those tears were presumably genuine, but somehow still looked crocodile style.

The TBS Title hasn't been this high profile since Jade Cargill held the thing. Now it's under Mone's watch, the strap could realistically pull ahead of that previously-more important AEW Women's Title. Look out, Toni. Ye olde Sasha Banks is coming for your spot!
