CMLL World Women Champion Persephone successfully defended her championship against a formidable field including Mina Shirakawa, Starlight Kid, and Tessa Blanchard during the recent CMLL 93. Aniversario event. The 25-year-old rising star, who holds dual contracts with AEW and CMLL and currently serves as the AEW TBS Champion, proved her tactical acumen in the ring by utilizing a move reminiscent of legendary wrestler Eddie Guerrero.
The finish of the high-stakes match occurred while the referee was momentarily distracted. Persephone executed a classic ruse by pretending that Tessa Blanchard had struck her with the championship title. When the official turned back to the action, he discovered the AEW star incapacitated on the canvas with the title belt nearby and Blanchard standing over her. The referee incorrectly concluded that the former TNA World Champion had delivered an illegal strike, leading him to award the victory to Persephone via disqualification.
Currently aligned with Britt Baker, Persephone claimed her AEW TBS title after defeating Maya World at All In: London. Looking toward the future, the champion has set her sights on unfinished business. In a recent interview with The Sportster, she noted that she plans to resolve rivalries with foes such as Maya World and Thunder Rosa before turning her attention back to Mercedes Mone.
Persephone and the CEO, Mercedes Mone, have faced one another twice, with each wrestler holding a single victory in their head-to-head series. As she continues to build momentum in both promotions, industry observers suggest that the TBS Champion is on a clear path toward eventually capturing the Women’s World Championship.
