The “Big Business” edition of “AEW Dynamite,” where Mone made her debut, was a huge night in Willow Nightingale’s career as she main evented the event against former AEW Women’s World Champion Riho. Nightingale explained how much that meant to her as it was the first time she had been put in that position.

“I’ve main evented Rampage before which is, again, exciting, but a Dynamite…that’s how we started. To be put in that position, with a show that has [Kazuchika] Okada on it, The Young Bucks, it was a stacked show, so I was like, ‘Alright, I’ve really got to deliver today.’ It was also my first time working with Riho, so there’s also that question in the back of your head of, ‘Well are we going to have chemistry? Are we going to be able to put things together smoothly? How’s it going to come across?'”
The match ended up going according to plan with Nightingale picking up the win, which also led to Mone coming out afterward to confront her, as well as Julia Hart and Skye Blue who looked primed to attack the former NJPW STRONG Women’s Champion after her big win. Nightingale will finally get the chance to get her hands on Hart this Sunday at AEW Dynasty with the TBS Championship on the line. The winner of that match will move on to Double or Nothing on May 26 to face Mone for the title in what looks set to be Mone’s in-ring debut for AEW, and her first match since breaking her ankle against Nightingale.
