Mercedes Moné and Willow Nightingale will come face to face once more ahead of their AEW Women’s World Championship match at AEW All In: London.
AEW has announced that Renee Paquette will interview both women on this Wednesday’s Dynamite, August 19, at the Chesapeake Employers Insurance Arena in Baltimore, Maryland.
The segment comes as tensions between the two have escalated in recent weeks. On last week’s Dynamite, Moné interrupted a Nightingale interview and attacked the champion with the Owen Hart Cup belt.

Interview w/ @ReneePaquette
Moné attacked Willow before Dynamite last week, but that only fired up the AEW Women's World Champion! Before their #AEWAllIn match, they'll be interviewed by Renee, TOMORROW!
7:00 PM · Aug 18, 2026The tension carried into the August 15 Collision. After defeating Zayda Steel, Moné kept up the attack post-match, bringing Nightingale out to make the save.
The path to their All In showdown took several turns. Moné defeated Maya World in the Owen Hart Cup final on June 28, earning an AEW Women’s World Championship opportunity for the second straight year. Nightingale, meanwhile, defeated Thekla at Redemption on July 26 to capture the world title for the first time.
The history between the two stretches back much further. Nightingale beat Moné in the final for the inaugural NJPW STRONG Women’s Championship in 2023, a match where Mercedes suffered a severe ankle injury that kept her sidelined for nearly a year. Moné won the rematch at Double or Nothing in 2024 and captured the TBS Championship.
Willow evened the score on December 31, 2025, ending Moné’s lengthy TBS Championship reign.
AEW All In: London takes place August 30 at Wembley Stadium in London, England.
