Mercedes Mone has been on a roll in the world of professional wrestling. She recently conquered yet another belt and now she holds a total of 12 titles across the globe. However, The CEO has set her sights on a new championship in All Elite Wrestling, and a former WWE champion is willing to join her side in this conquest.

It was revealed on AEW Dynamite this week that Mercedes Mone will team up with former NXT Women's Champion Athena in the AEW Women's Tag Team Titles tournament. The whole motivation for The CEO in this tournament is to become "13 Belts Mone." However, it has created a funny dynamic between Mercedes and Athena in AEW that has got fans talking all over the internet.

Some X users believed that the team of The CEO and Minion Overlord would become the new AEW Women's Tag Team Champions. However, while some fans loved this iconic pairing, they hoped the former WWE stars wouldn’t win the tournament.

This tag team should be on crack, but I hope they don’t win

All in all, the majority of the netizens believed that Mone and Athena would be the strongest alliance in the whole women's tag team division moving forward. Meanwhile, some fans asked AEW to keep this alliance for the next few months in the company, calling it an incredible twist to the characters of the two stars.

That is awesome and funny too

If they can do a little funny stuff and Moné can humble her character, maybe this part could be good. They need to extend this for a few months though for it to realy work. It could be good. Not MJF/Cole good, but it could add a nice creative twist to her character

Mercedes and athena will really whip some huge a** in the women's division

However, his true passion has always been storytelling, especially the kind of tales that unfold in the world of professional wrestling. Writing gave him a way to channel that passion, and soon it turned into his profession. He has been working as a sports journalist for over two years. During this time, he has contributed to multiple prominent sports media outlets.

He first got into pro wrestling in 2014, during the unforgettable Daniel Bryan vs. The Authority storyline in WWE. As a journalist, accuracy and integrity are non-negotiable for Anugrah. He always verifies facts through credible sources before publishing anything. Whether it’s breaking news or analysis, he double-checks details. He has written over 2000 articles so far, with one of his pieces drawing a positive reaction from NXT's Thea Hail.

Anugrah's favorite wrestler is Seth Rollins. He admires The Visionary's work ethic, resilience, and unwavering dedication to his craft. If he could travel back to the Attitude Era, he would have loved to manage Chris Jericho. Anugrah feels Y2J was the perfect mix of charisma, rebellion, and in-ring talent in WWE. He would have helped the multi-time world champion scale new heights.

When not watching or writing about pro wrestling, Anugrah likes diving into movies and TV shows, especially ones with strong storytelling.
