Finally Winning the Championship!
When I finally held that championship, I thought about the woman who had sat in that same building three years before, wondering what her future would look like. I wish I could go back and tell her what was waiting. One of the things that touched me most happened afterward. When I came through the […]
London was Different
It’s ironic because the last time Willow and I fought for the NJPW STRONG Women’s Championship, I broke my heel. I could’ve tried to push through and win that match, but what would that have accomplished? I couldn’t even stand, let alone defend a championship. The last thing I wanted was to win a title […]
It had to be Willow
Willow and I have so much history together. Somehow, we keep finding ourselves on opposite sides of these huge moments in our careers. This time, we were fighting for the AEW Women’s World Championship on one of wrestling’s grandest stages. Then, very early in the match, my nose broke. There was so much blood. More […]
ALL IN: THE DREAM CAME TRUE
Winning the AEW Women’s World Championship meant everything to me. Three years earlier, I had been sitting at All In as a fan, unsure of where I stood in wrestling or where my career was going next. I didn’t have all the answers, but I remember watching AEW that night and knowing in my heart […]
A CHAMPIONSHIP, A HEARTBREAK, & EVERYTHING IN BETWEEN
I know it’s been a little while since my last MonéMag. I’ve had so much I wanted to share with you, but these past two months have been some of the most emotional of my life. At the end of August, I became the AEW Women’s World Champion at Wembley Stadium. I was living a […]
SOMETHING BIGGER…
And then there’s something else. I’ve been working on something for the past year and a half that is bigger than me. I’ve kept it close. I’ve protected it. I’ve given it the time it needed. And now? I need to set the date to finally announce it. That’s all I’m giving you right now, […]

Coming Up in Moné World…
August isn’t over yet. AND NEITHER AM I. There are already a few things on my calendar that I’m VERY excited about. ALL IN — LONDON After everything I just told you… You already know what this one means to me. This isn’t just another match. This is history coming full circle. THE FINAL CHAPTER.
What’s IN & What’s OUT
IN Doing things because I actually want to. Taking more pictures. Trying somewhere new. Protecting my time. Looking good for absolutely NO reason. Making plans I’m genuinely excited about. OUT Forcing plans. Saving outfits for “someday.” Overexplaining. Being available to everybody. Saying “we should go sometime” and never going. Waiting for permission.
The Moné Standard
This month’s reminder: STOP WAITING FOR A SPECIAL OCCASION TO ENJOY YOUR OWN LIFE. Wear the outfit. Try the restaurant. Take yourself somewhere. Buy yourself flowers. Take the picture even if nobody else understands why you need 37 versions of the same pose. There are moments when I’ve caught myself saving things for “later.” Later […]
