A WWE star has publicly expressed admiration for AEW TBS Champion Mercedes Mone, stating that the champion is often on her mind. Jaida Parker, who has been with WWE since 2022 and performs on the developmental brand NXT, made the comment under one of Mone’s social media posts. Mone had shared pictures on Instagram with the caption “On your mind,” prompting Parker to respond with “All the time.”
Mercedes Mone is a top star in AEW, holding nine title belts, including the TBS Championship, which she has held for over 450 days. She is poised to become the longest-reigning TBS Champion and is set to defend her title against Riho at All Out 2025 on September 20.
Mone’s recent title defense against Alex Windsor on AEW Dynamite sparked criticism from wrestling veteran Jim Cornette. Cornette, speaking on his podcast, claimed that the segment was poorly executed and that Windsor was “buried” as a result. He also criticized Riho, who made her return and took out Mone after the match.
The exchange between Parker and Mone highlights the respect and admiration that exists between wrestlers across different promotions. Despite being part of different companies, Parker’s comment suggests that she holds Mone in high regard, both as a wrestler and as a performer.
The upcoming title defense at All Out 2025 is expected to be a significant match, with Mone looking to extend her reign as TBS Champion. Riho, who has a reputation for being a formidable opponent, will be seeking to dethrone Mone and claim the title for herself. The match is likely to be closely watched by fans and pundits alike, given the stakes and the reputation of the two wrestlers involved.
