Mercedes Moné Vacates Last Held Title

Mercedes Moné is officially belt less. At one point, Moné held 13 titles. She started to lose most of the belts when she lost the ROH Women’s TV Title to Red Velvet followed by the AEW TBS Title to Willow Nightingale in December. Since then, she has traveled the world dropping titles on the indies.

The last title she held was the APAC Women’s Title from Malaysia. Moné announced the news she had to vacate the title in her recent edition of Moné Mag.

“A Tough Decision
While I was in London, I had to make a tough call.
I sent the Malaysia Championship back.

My team and I really tried to make things work—we put in the effort, had the conversations, and explored every option. But at the end of the day, they told us they didn’t have the budget to fly me out and weren’t open to working with other promotions.
For me?
That just didn’t align with the vision.
So I made the decision to vacate the title.

And look—this business isn’t always easy. Not every partnership works out the way you hope. But I’ve learned to stand firm in my worth, my time, and what I bring to the table.

Every title I hold means something.
Every move I make has purpose.
So even though it wasn’t easy, it was necessary.
Because growth sometimes means letting go.

Trust me…
I’m always moving forward.”
