The AEW women’s contender defeated Mercedes Mone (f.k.a. Sasha Banks) at the NJPW Resurgence 2023 special event this weekend.
Nightingale picked up the win over Mone in a match that garnered a ton of buzz on social media. As noted, the match also resulted in Mercedes Mone suffering a serious injury.
