Toni Storm's sudden WWE release took fans by surprise. It wasn't because she was a big name, but because she was just coming off a SmackDown Women's title feud against Charlotte Flair.

However, from the newest reports, it appears that the "release" was a bit different. PWInsider reported that Toni Storm flew home from Baltimore and abruptly quit WWE:

"According to the latest update PWInsider, Toni Storm flew herself home on Wednesday morning from Baltimore. The triple threat bout, which also involved Charlotte Flair and Sasha Banks, reportedly went down as scheduled. Nothing occurred during the match that may have caused Toni Storm to ask for her release."

Dave Meltzer noted that burnout was the main reason for Toni Storm's abrupt WWE departure:

"As far as her reasons and why she left, the only thing I heard was burnout essentially," Meltzer revealed.

We hope this isn't true, but the burnout that WWE superstars can face is real, and creative frustration may only add to that. Toni Storm will undoubtedly be a big success wherever she ends up.
