Mercedes Mone’ has vacated the APAC Women’s Championship, in what she says was due to budget issues with the promotion that includes being unable to fly her out to Malaysia.
In addition, Mone’ said APAC was not willing to work with other promotions in order to find a viable solution.
Mone’s statement from her Mone’ Mag is below:
“A Tough Decision
While I was in London, I had to make a tough call.
I sent the Malaysia Championship back.
My team and I really tried to make things work—we put in the effort, had the conversations, and explored every option. But at the end of the day, they told us they didn’t have the budget to fly me out and weren’t open to working with other promotions.
For me?
That just didn’t align with the vision.
So I made the decision to vacate the title.
And look—this business isn’t always easy. Not every partnership works out the way you hope. But I’ve learned to stand firm in my worth, my time, and what I bring to the table.
Every title I hold means something.
Every move I make has purpose.
So even though it wasn’t easy, it was necessary.
Because growth sometimes means letting go.
Trust me…
I’m always moving forward.”

Mone’ previously held thirteen championships at one-time, which included the AEW TBS Title and the ROH Women’s Title.
