AEW star Toni Storm is currently one of the most popular professional wrestlers in the world. She is the reigning AEW Women's World Champion and perhaps portrays the most fascinating gimmick across North America. From 2017 to 2021, she was signed to WWE, where she held the now-defunct NXT UK Women's Championship once.
Last week on Collision, The Timeless Superstar locked horns with Lady Frost in a Women's World Title Eliminator. The 29-year-old was victorious, and after the showdown, the reigning AEW Women's World Champion delivered a wholesome promo about inclusivity and the joy of belonging to the LGBTQ community.
Interestingly, according to Wrestling News Observer, the promo was a response to the large number of openly gay women released by WWE over the last few months. The Stamford-based company has gotten rid of popular names such as Sonya Deville, Tegan Nox, Dakota Kai, Shayna Baszler, and more. This decision has raised many eyebrows.
"One thing I know is for sure, I will be ready, I will be sweaty, I am here, and I’m queer, and I will always be Timeless!'' Toni Storm said. [H/T: The Pink News]
