Matches That Defined My Year

One of my favorite matches of 2025 was Mercedes Moné vs. Toni Storm at All In: Texas. From the gear to the entrance to the sheer spectacle—it was one of the greatest moments of my career. Standing across the ring from Toni, who radiates charisma, chaos, and light, made the entire experience electric.

Mercedes Moné vs. Athena in Boston was another standout. Opening AEW Summer Breakthrough against someone I’d wanted to wrestle for a long time was incredibly special. We brought out the best in each other—but that was only a preview of what we’re capable of together. I can’t wait to run it back.

My trilogy with Kris Statlander, capped off at Full Gear, is something I’ll always be proud of. If you ask me which match was my favorite, I honestly couldn’t tell you—so I’ll just say this: watch them in this order—3, 1, 2. Kris survived the Moné Train and gave me some of the best matches of my career.
