All Elite Wrestling booked Mercedes Moné to defend the AEW Women's World Championship against Marina Shafir at Full Gear.
AEW said in a 5 November 2026 post on X that Mercedes Moné will defend against Marina Shafir at Full Gear on 14 November, live on PPV. The company said that after a heated confrontation at Blood and Guts, Moné attacked Shafir and reminded everyone she is afraid of no one, then confirmed Moné versus Shafir for the Women's World title at Full Gear.
Why the match was made
AEW is packaging the bout as a straight title defence sparked by the Blood and Guts segment, not as a multi person scramble. Moné enters as champion; Shafir is the challenger named in the official graphic. Full Gear remains a November PPV pillar on the AEW calendar, so the women's title slot is one of the night's centrepiece announcements.
RingZine will watch Dynamite and Collision for any stipulations AEW adds before 14 November. For now, the only confirmed terms are the champion, the challenger, the show, and the date in AEW's own post.
