However, before Mercedes Mone makes her appearance at Capital Collison, she is set for a huge match at AEW’s premier event, All In, taking place at Wembley Stadium on August 25. The CEO will defend her TBS championship against Dr. Britt Baker, D.M.D., at the show after Tony Khan made their match official following an altercation at the San Diego Comic-Con.

While it was mentioned that Mercedes would hit the ring at the event, we will have to wait and see if she would be scheduled for an in-ring encounter at the pay-per-view in Washington.
