This week at AEW Grand Slam, Saraya retained her AEW Women’s World Championship against her former best friend Toni Storm.

On the September 13 edition of AEW Dynamite, Toni Storm competed in a four-way eliminator match against Hikaru Shida, Britt Baker and Nyla Rose. She emerged victorious in the match and earned a title shot against Saraya at AEW Grand Slam. However, the highlight of the match was something else.
