Mercedes Moné is heading back to Italy.
AEW talent Moné is being promoted to appear at BestYa Wrestling’s March 8 event at the Magika Disco Club in Italy, the promotion announced today. Defending her BestYa Women’s Championship for the second time, Moné will take on Italy’s Swan.

Moné first captured Italian gold last July in a title-versus-title match against Diana Strong. She has defended the belt once since then, overcoming Queen Maya in a match last November.
Swan, a veteran of the Italian scene, earned the upcoming opportunity against Moné by beating Electra and Strong in a #1 contenders match last year.
Moné has been off AEW programming in recent weeks, announcing her break from the show shortly after Willow Nightingale ended her record-setting TBS Championship reign.
Moné still holds eight different independent wrestling titles, and it seems she’ll be defending some of those belts during her time away from AEW. It was announced yesterday that Moné will return to Winnipeg Pro Wrestling as part of a show next month, defending her women’s belt against the winner of an eight-woman tournament.
