Mercedes Moné continues to collect belts en route to her high-stakes match at AEW All In.

Moné added the CMLL World Women’s Championship to her collection on Wednesday night, dethroning Zeuxis to earn the title as part of the Grand Slam Mexico card in Mexico.

A close match between the two went the way of Moné after she countered a top-rope move from Zeuxis, allowing her to pick up a clean pinfall win in just over nine minutes.

The CMLL title is now just one of the many belts Moné carries around. She’s also the TBS Champion in AEW, the RevPro Undisputed British Women’s Champion, and the EWA Women’s Champion.

Zeuxis had held the CMLL title for 278 days prior to her loss against Moné this week. Prior champs in the belt’s lineage include Willow Nightingale and Stephanie Vaquer.

Moné’s post-win celebration was cut short, as she was jumped afterward by AEW Women’s World Champion Toni Storm.

Moné and Storm are set to battle for AEW’s top women’s title at All In: Texas on July 12.
