A Challenge to the CEO
Persephone quickly sent a fiery challenge to Moné, who holds multiple championships, including the CMLL Women’s Title. That belt will have to wait, but Persephone vowed to take the TBS Championship first. Her confident promise —
“What Perse wants, Perse gets” — set the tone for this high-energy clash.
A Rising Star on the Global Stage
In 2025, Persephone has climbed fast in the wrestling world. She opened the year at NJPW’s Wrestle Dynasty in the Tokyo Dome. Later, she competed in ROH, including at the Supercard of Honor. This August, she faces UK talent Alexxis Falcon at the Global Wars RevPro event, adding another milestone to her international resume.
CMLL’s Choice for Forbidden Door
CMLL’s Julio Cesar Rivera announced Persephone’s selection, pointing to her Universal Championship win as the deciding factor. Her participation boosts Forbidden Door’s prestige, blending AEW’s platform with the rich tradition of lucha libre.
Awaiting Stardom’s Pick
The final slot belongs to a Stardom representative, and fan speculation is already heating up. By including talent from both CMLL and Stardom, AEW reinforces its commitment to global women’s wrestling.
With Forbidden Door set for Sunday, August 24 at London’s O2 Arena, one question remains — can Persephone dethrone Mercedes Moné and bring the TBS Title home to CMLL?
