Toni Storm Spotted at WrestleCade After AEW “Retirement” Announcement

Despite her dramatic “retirement” announcement after losing the AEW Women’s Championship, Toni Storm was spotted mingling with fans at WrestleCade Day 2 in Winston-Salem, North Carolina.

The “Timeless” star appeared in high spirits, taking photos and signing autographs, fueling speculation that her time away from wrestling may be short-lived.

Storm’s emotional exit from AEW left fans stunned, especially after her fiery post-match comments where she claimed to be “done with wrestling.” She expressed frustration with her career trajectory, citing failures in AEW, Japan, and Mexico. “This is the last you’ll hear from me again. AEW is just fine without me,” she said in a dramatic farewell.

However, her appearance at WrestleCade tells a different story. Fans flocked to see the former champion, many wondering if this public outing signals her readiness to re-enter the spotlight.

The timing is especially intriguing, given AEW President Tony Khan’s recent comments during the AEW Full Gear media call. “I still expect Toni Storm will have a great wrestling career… She’s struggling, clearly, with what’s happened. I hope Toni Storm can find herself and come back to us in AEW because Timeless Toni Storm is a great part of AEW,” Khan said, leaving the door open for her return.

Adding to the intrigue, earlier reports suggest Storm’s AEW comeback is “sooner rather than later,” further fueling theories about her next move. Whether it’s a quest to reclaim the AEW Women’s Championship from Mariah May or a new storyline that leverages her “Timeless” persona, fans are eager to see what the enigmatic star has planned.

Storm’s WrestleCade appearance has reignited excitement among wrestling fans and solidified her status as one of AEW’s most compelling personalities, retired or not.
