After being absent from the company for roughly five months, Moné resurfaced on the June 3 edition of AEW Dynamite as the mystery Wild Card entrant in the 2026 Women’s Owen Hart Foundation Tournament. The former tournament winner wasted little time reminding everyone why she remains one of the division’s top stars, defeating Alex Windsor to move on to the semifinals.
Moné entered the match with confidence and controlled much of the early action. She frequently taunted Windsor while maintaining the advantage, even attempting to secure an early victory with the Statement Maker. Windsor managed to escape and showed flashes of offense, but Moné quickly regained momentum and took the fight outside the ring, connecting with a neckbreaker on the apron before landing a Meteora on the floor.
The former champion continued to dictate the pace through the middle portion of the contest, though Windsor repeatedly refused to stay down. After the commercial break, Moné hit the Three Amigos and looked to follow up with a Frog Splash, but Windsor mounted a spirited comeback that forced Moné to regroup on the outside. Windsor then delivered a cannonball and a clothesline from the apron to swing momentum in her favor.
Back inside the ring, the action intensified. Moné attempted another Three Amigos sequence, but Windsor escaped the third suplex and connected with a Made in Japan for a close near fall. Windsor later tried for a superplex, only for Moné to counter and land another Meteora. The two continued trading near falls before Moné gained the upper hand with a Backstabber and immediately transitioned into the Statement Maker.
Unable to escape the hold, Windsor was forced to tap out, giving Moné the victory and a spot in the tournament semifinals. Following the submission, Moné continued applying the hold even after the bell rang, adding an extra layer of aggression to her return appearance.
With the win, Moné moves one step closer to capturing her second consecutive Owen Hart Foundation Tournament crown. Her semifinal opponent will be determined on this Saturday’s AEW Collision, where Persephone and Hazuki are scheduled to face off for the right to advance.

Tonight’s show will be dedicated to the late Ted Turner, who died on Wednesday. AEW made the announcement via its X (formerly Twitter) account and said the show on TBS, a network Turner founded, will be dedicated to the media mogul and former owner of WCW.
AEW mourns the loss of Ted Turner and sends our condolences. A pioneer of TV and founder of TBS & TNT, Turner championed pro wrestling on his networks since the 1970's.

AEW fans were left stunned on the April 15 episode of Dynamite: Spring BreakThru when MJF dropped the AEW World Championship in rapid fashion—but as it turns out, the decision may have had less to do with storyline shock value and more to do with real-world commitments.
MJF’s latest title run began at Worlds End 2025, where he outlasted a stacked field including Swerve Strickland, Adam Page, and Samoa Joe to reclaim the top prize. Over the following months, he built a solid list of defenses, turning back challengers like Bandido, Brody King, Kevin Knight, Hangman Page, and even Kenny Omega. It looked like another dominant chapter for “The Devil” was underway.
That momentum came to a sudden halt when Darby Allin stepped up. After earning his shot by defeating Andrade El Idolo at AEW Dynasty 2026, Allin capitalized in a big way, defeating MJF decisively to win the AEW World Title. The quick nature of the match raised eyebrows immediately, with many fans questioning why AEW would end MJF’s reign so abruptly after just 109 days.
According to a report from B.J. Bethel, there’s a practical explanation behind the scenes. MJF is reportedly heading straight into a film project, with production commitments that have been locked in for quite some time. His involvement wasn’t a last-minute development either—his name has apparently been attached to filming schedules and call sheets for months, making his temporary exit from AEW programming inevitable.
As for what’s next, MJF’s status for Double or Nothing 2026 remains unclear. While nothing has been confirmed regarding an appearance, the report suggests that the title change—and even the way it unfolded on TV—was mapped out well in advance to accommodate his schedule.
In other words, while the loss may have felt sudden on screen, it was anything but rushed behind the curtain.
MJF is expected to be filming at least one movie immediately following his loss to Darby Allin on Dynamite tonight. His name has been on schedules and call sheets for months.
