Toni Storm Set for Imminent Return to AEW Following Brief “Retirement”

The wrestling world was shaken when former AEW Women’s Champion Toni Storm announced her “retirement” following a string of losses and a shocking title defeat to Mariah May at All In. However, it seems Storm’s time away from the ring won’t last long, as new reports suggest her return to AEW is just around the corner.

In a fiery post-loss interview with SB Nation, Storm declared she was done with wrestling, citing her struggles across multiple promotions, including AEW, Japan, and Mexico. “I’m not used to being a loser. I’ve failed at everything,” she said. “This is the last you’ll hear from me again. Enjoy Mariah May as your champion. AEW is just fine without me.” Storm’s emotional farewell left fans wondering if this was truly the end for the “Timeless” star.

However, during the AEW Full Gear media call, AEW President Tony Khan dismissed the idea that Storm’s career was over. “Reports of her demise have been greatly exaggerated,” Khan said. “I still expect Toni Storm will have a great wrestling career… She’s struggling, clearly, with what’s happened. She lost the world title, she lost her protégé. I hope Toni Storm can find herself and come back to us in AEW because Timeless Toni Storm is a great part of AEW.”

The speculation intensified with Sean Ross Sapp of Fightful Select reporting that Storm’s return is expected “sooner rather than later.” The timing aligns with Khan’s optimistic comments, further hinting that Storm is gearing up for a comeback that could shake up the AEW women’s division.

Fans are buzzing with theories about how Storm might re-enter the spotlight. Will she target Mariah May for a championship rematch? Or will she explore a new storyline that highlights her “Timeless” persona?

As anticipation builds, one thing is certain: Toni Storm’s return promises to be must-see TV for AEW fans.
