Toni Storm’s return to the ring proved to be a successful one for the former Women’s World Champion during the latest edition of AEW Rampage. On this week’s Dynamite, Storm made her first AEW appearance since All In: London by confronting Mariah May. The Glamor had retained the AEW Women’s World Championship against Mina Shirakawa before Storm, ditching her ‘Timeless’ persona, arrived on the scene.
Storm’s momentum continued forward during the latest edition of AEW Rampage. On the show, Storm defeated Harley Cameron. While Cameron was able to control the action at the start of the match, Storm rallied and won with a hip attack. This win marks Storm’s first in months, as her handful of matches during her AEW hiatus saw the former Women’s World Champion come up short.
Storm’s return is a big deal for AEW, though there have reportedly been issues backstage about the circumstances behind her return match. Prior to Rampage, it was reported by Bryan Alvarez that sources in AEW were “appalled” that Storm’s return match was coming on AEW’s C-Show. Alvarez added, “People argue things with him every single week, and at the end of the day, he does whatever he wants.”
Storm is officially back with AEW, and has previously suggested waiting until February’s Grand Slam: Australia show before she challenges May for the title. Stay tuned to SEScoops for the latest on Toni Storm as the former Timeless One is ready to reassert herself in AEW’s women’s division.
