Mercedes Mone has won her first independent wrestling match in twelve and a half years.

She defeated Indi Hartwell at House of Glory’s City of Dreamz event on Saturday in Jamaica, New York. This was her first match outside of a major promotion since signing with WWE in 2012.

Hartwell was released by WWE in April 2024. This was her first match in the United States since then. She returned to Australia last week, where she defeated Aysha on March 9 to win the Renegades of Wrestling Women’s Championship in Victoria.

In an issue of her online magazine, Mone Mag, last month, Mone said that House of Glory holds “a special place” in her heart. The TBS Champion has frequently trained at the New York-based school with The Amazing Red, whom she calls “the best in the business.” House of Glory was founded by Red in 2012, and purchased by Master P in 2019.

Mone is back in action on Wednesday at AEW Dynamite, where she is scheduled to face Billie Starkz.
