About ten months ago, Skye Blue injured her ankle during a match with Hikaru Shida on Collision. The match was immediately called off when the incident occurred. She has not been seen on AEW TV for quite some time as she had to have surgery and begin the recovery process.

In an interview with Case Lowe on Q101, the 25-year-old talked about her injury and revealed that there were moments when she thought she'd never be able to wrestle again. Her boyfriend, AEW star Kyle Fletcher, was said to be one of those who reassured her that she would be able to recover.

"That definitely crossed through my head a bunch of times, especially at night when I couldn't sleep. It'd be like four in the morning and there were times I would have to lay with my leg straight because if I moved it, it was in pain. [Kyle] was the best because he'd be like, 'Tell those voices to shut up. You're going to wrestle. You're not going to just sit on this couch and mop.' He was by far the biggest supporter I could ever ask for." [H/T - Fightful]

Skye Blue, Mina Shirakawa, and the new NJPW Strong Women's Champion AZM are set to be the three other women that the Timeless One will share the ring with this week. Tony Khan has made this match official.

This is an unexpected pairing, as all three of Toni Storm's opponents have not been seen in an AEW ring for some time. It remains to be seen whether one of them can take the win and earn a Women's World Title shot.
