Jim Ross Hails Mercedes Mone’s AEW Full Gear Match as Her Best Yet

AEW Full Gear delivered a showdown that fans won’t forget as Mercedes Mone defended her AEW TBS Championship against Kris Statlander in a match that had the wrestling world talking. The hard-fought bout ended with Mone retaining her title, earning praise from fans and industry legends alike—including Jim Ross.

Speaking on Grilling JR, the Hall of Fame commentator didn’t hold back his admiration, calling it Mone’s finest AEW performance to date. “Without a doubt, best match that Mercedes Mone has had, in my opinion, since coming to AEW,” Ross said. “I’ve been waiting on that match. I’ve been waiting on that match.”

Ross reflected on his earlier comments about Mone, clarifying his belief that she hadn’t yet reached her full potential in AEW. “All I was ever saying was, we haven’t seen the best of her yet,” he explained. “Meaning that there’s a significant upside to this young lady, who has a great look, great presence, and then all of sudden, on Saturday night, we saw the best of Mercedes Mone. It was very impressive.”

The match showcased Mone’s athleticism, charisma, and ability to rise to the occasion, leaving fans eager to see what’s next for the reigning AEW TBS Champion. With this performance under her belt, the sky appears to be the limit for Mone as she continues to cement her legacy in AEW.
