AEW Women’s Champion Nightingale Faces Moné at All In Despite Left Hand Injury

Willow Nightingale will defend her All Elite Wrestling Women’s World Championship against Mercedes Moné at All In on Sunday, though she is dealing with a significant hand injury heading into the bout. During an appearance on “Collision” in Glasgow, the champion spoke directly to her challenger while sporting a wrap around her left hand, pledging to retain her title regardless of the physical setback.

Nightingale promised the Glasgow crowd that neither Moné’s attacks nor her own injury would prevent her from walking out of Wembley Stadium still wearing the championship. She characterized her opponent’s recent assault as part of an obsession, vowing to maintain both her title and her composure throughout the contest.

In a candid interview with POST Wrestling, Nightingale confirmed that her left hand is legitimately broken and requires an X-ray to determine the extent of the damage. She indicated the severity of the injury would dictate how carefully she must protect the hand during Sunday’s match at Wembley Stadium in London.

Ahead of the championship bout, Nightingale acknowledged expecting a divided crowd response at the London venue, recognizing the popularity of her challenger despite personal reservations about Moné. She stressed that competing at the world championship level means facing elite competitors prepared to deliver their absolute best performance.
