In a pivotal development in All Elite Wrestling (AEW), reigning AEW TBS Champion Mercedes Moné is reportedly on the verge of forming a new faction, setting the stage for high drama at the upcoming “AEW Dynamite: September to Remember” event. This potential alliance is stirring significant backstage buzz and could reshape the landscape of the AEW women’s division heading into “All Out 2025.”[1][3]
Sources close to AEW reveal that Mercedes Moné, who has been a dominant force in AEW since capturing the TBS Championship, is exploring the possibility of creating a powerful stable to solidify her reign and raise her dominance within the promotion. One of the most talked-about potential allies in this new faction is Robyn Renegade, who recently returned to AEW and is set for a marquee match against former AEW Women’s World Champion Riho at the September to Remember show. This bout holds extra weight as Riho is slated to challenge Mercedes Moné for the TBS title at All Out 2025.[1][3]
The concept of this faction has been brewing for some time. When Mercedes Moné wrestled in World Wonder Ring Stardom, she hinted publicly on social media about her interest in forming a faction and named the Renegade Twins (Robyn and Charlette Renegade) as perfect candidates for her stable. Reports indicate that plans for this alliance nearly materialized on multiple occasions, including the Renegade Twins having gear designed to match Mercedes Moné to visually cement such an alliance on AEW programming.[1][3]
According to Fightful Select and other backstage sources, this trio — Mercedes Moné, Robyn Renegade, and potentially Charlette Renegade — could make an impactful entrance at AEW Dynamite: September to Remember. There’s strong speculation that following Robyn Renegade’s match against Riho, the Renegade Twins could join Mercedes in a coordinated attack on Riho, sending a clear message of their intent to dominate the AEW women’s division. Mercedes Moné might then seize the microphone to assert the group’s goal of taking over the company’s women’s scene.[1][3]
Such a faction formation would strategically position Mercedes Moné not just as a single champion but as the leader of a formidable force, elevating storytelling possibilities and rivalries in AEW. This move aligns with AEW’s recent trend of bolstering compelling factions and alliances to enhance character arcs and provide fans with intricate narrative developments.[3][4]
Despite the enthusiasm around this potential alliance, not all voices have been supportive. Wrestling veteran Jim Cornette remains openly critical of Mercedes Moné’s in-ring abilities and acting skills, expressing his disdain on his podcast “The Jim Cornette’s Drive Thru.”[1] Cornette argues that Moné is physically unimpressive and a poor actress, yet AEW President Tony Khan’s faith in her stardom and potential remains unshaken.
From a wider AEW perspective, faction dynamics are particularly significant as other groups, such as the Hurt Syndicate (MVP, Shelton Benjamin, and Bobby Lashley), are also reportedly considering new members to strengthen their dominance. AEW continues to cultivate faction warfare storylines to raise stakes and engage the fanbase in multi-dimensional feuds.[5]
Looking ahead, the fallout from September to Remember and the eventual TBS Championship match at All Out could be transformative. If the new faction debuts with a high-profile interference leading to Riho’s defeat, it could spark fresh rivalries, emphasizing Mercedes Moné’s role as a top heel faction leader. Fans can expect intense promos, exciting tag matches, and possibly the Renegade Twins adopting a more prominent role on AEW programming.[3][4]
For fans tracking Mercedes Moné’s career, this move represents a natural evolution. Known for her impressive resume, which includes eight other titles across various promotions worldwide such as the CMLL World Women’s Championship and the Undisputed British Women’s Championship, Moné’s path to becoming a cornerstone of AEW’s women’s division is clearly accelerating through faction leadership.[1]
As AEW Dynamite: September to Remember approaches, the wrestling community eagerly awaits confirmation of this faction’s official debut and how it will impact ongoing storylines. Stay tuned for live coverage and further updates, as this development could herald a major new chapter in AEW’s competitive landscape.[3]
According to AEW insiders and multiple wrestling news outlets such as Fightful and WrestlingHeadlines, the formation of this faction is one of the most anticipated storylines leading into AEW All Out 2025, promising elevated storytelling and renewed rivalries in the coming months.
