AEW:
CEO Champion: Mercedes Mone won her first match in AEW, and she is now the TBS Champion. She beat Willow Nightingale in clean fashion at Double or Nothing, and that was followed by Kris Statlander and Stokely Hathaway turning on Willow.
Mystery Solved: During the AEW Double or Nothing Zero-Hour show, a clip of a woman putting something between Anthony Bowens’ fingers went viral after I posed a question about the identity of the female. I have since confirmed that she was indie wrestler Alice Blair.
WTF did this overenthusiastic girl just put on Bowens’ finger? #AEW #AEWDoN #AEWDoubleorNothing pic.twitter.com/LjW2kLPkMy
