Tonight’s episode of AEW Dynamite is on the heels of last weekend’s WrestleDream pay-per-view where Sting made his return and Mercedes Moné became 11 belts Moné. Tonight, she celebrates becoming Mercedes “Ultima” Moné, and the official Women’s Tag Team Championship bracket was announced.

Keep reading for the biggest moments from AEW Dynamite this week.

The Opps Retain Their Gold

The Opps defeated The Hurt Syndicate to maintain their dominant reign over the trios division. They did so with the help of Ricochet who distracted referee Aubrey Edwards while Samoa Joe choked out MVP. At WrestleDream, Joe lost to “Hangman” Adam Page, so this was not only a reminder to him — but the entire locker room — that he isn’t here to mess around.

Joe, Powerhouse Hobbs, and Katsuyori Shibata are approaching 200 days as champions. They defeated The Death Riders back in April at Spring BreakThru.

Kris Statlander Crashes Mone’s Celebration

Mercedes Moné arrived in style to Dynamite as she often does. The red carpet was rolled out for the longest-reigning TBS Champion who just captured her 12th belt over the weekend. Moné joined Renee Paquette in the ring but her celebration was cut short by the AEW Women’s World Champion. Statlander appeared in a disguise and slammed her through the table. Moné called out the champion for a match at Full Gear following her WrestleDream win. Moné vs. Statlander was later made official for the November pay-per-view.

.@MercedesVarnado may think this party is all about her, but @CallMeKrisStat and @HarleyCameron_ have other plans!
