Toni Storm recently claimed that she had retired from AEW. The former Women's World Champion has now been pulled from an upcoming show.
Toni Storm was riding high as AEW Women's World Champion until she was betrayed by Mariah May. The two women had a brutal feud that culminated in a title match at All In 2024, which May finally won. The Timeless One has not been seen on All Elite television since her loss. However, she has competed for other promotions without much success. After her recent defeat at CMLL Super Viernes against La Catalina, Storm claimed that she was retiring from the Jacksonville-based promotion.
The former AEW Women's World Champion was set to compete at an upcoming CMLL show on December 13, 2024. She was supposed to team with Red Velvet to face the team of La Catalina and Tessa Blanchard. However, she has now been pulled from the show. The match has been changed and will feature Red Velvet & Viva Van vs Lluvia & La Jarochita.
New details have come to light about Toni Storm's future in AEW
Toni Storm announcing her sudden retirement from AEW caught a lot of fans off guard as they were expecting her to return and challenge Mariah May for the title.
Tony Khan was recently asked about Storm's sudden retirement and he responded that the former Women's World Champion would come back soon. Fightful Select also reported that the Timeless One was set to make her return to AEW sooner rather than later which should make fans happy. The report also referred to Khan's comments during the week.
It will be interesting to see when Storm will make her return to AEW, and whether she will challenge her former protege once she is back in the Jacksonville-based company.
