Mercedes Mone has run into a travel issue ahead of this week’s episode of AEW Dynamite.
As she prepares to face Athena in the semifinals of the Owen Hart Foundation Tournament, Mone took to Twitter to reveal that her wrestling gear is currently stuck in customs. Despite the setback, she is still scheduled to compete on the show.
Mone wrote, “My gear for #AEWDynamite is stuck in customs @DHLGlobal Let’s all pray that it gets here in time.”

Konnan recently expressed that he’s a fan of Claudio Castagnoli but isn’t happy with how AEW has been booking him.
Speaking on a recent edition of his “Keepin’ It 100” podcast, Konnan criticized Castagnoli’s current role in the Death Riders stable, which includes Jon Moxley, saying that he feels the wrestler isn’t being used to his full potential. He said,
“I love Claudio as a person, but I’m not interested in him or anything they’ve done with him, which is unfortunate. Remember when they first came in, they brought him in like this monster? Look at him now.”
Castagnoli competed on last week’s AEW Dynamite, teaming with Wheeler Yuta in a tag team loss to HOOK & Samoa Joe of The Opps.
