Wrestling fans witnessed Toni Storm perform the best work of her entire career throughout 2024. Her amusing promos and entertaining character work landed her on top of the AEW women’s roster, even holding the AEW Women’s Championship for most of the year. She eventually entered into a feud against her protege, Mariah May, a rivalry that is still ongoing.
The latest episode of Dynamite comprised a match between Queen Aminata and Storm, featuring Mariah May on the commentary desk. The Kiwi made her entrance for the match wearing ring gear that was highly similar to that of the AEW Women’s Champion. She even copied her mannerisms and her entrance music. This imitation left The Glamour stunned as she watched from the announcers’ table.
The 26-year-old had turned on her mentor shortly after winning the Owen Hart Women’s Tournament. She left Storm bloodied and made it clear that she was coming after her AEW Women’s Championship. These two went on to have a match at All In, during which May even slapped her own mother.

May eventually came out on top, winning the AEW Women’s Championship. This loss devastated Storm, who announced her retirement, stating that fans were never going to see her in a professional wrestling ring again. Of course, the 29-year-old would later return to the company, initially dressed as her original gimmick, and reignited her rivalry with the former Stardom superstar.

Wrestling fans were blown away after seeing Toni Storm‘s antics on this episode of Dynamite. A fan said that the Kiwi wrestler was amazing at this impression and even looked like Mariah May’s twin. Another netizen stated how she looked more like the Fighting Princess than the British wrestler did herself.

AEW fans commended whoever came up with the idea for this act. Furthermore, they praised Storm for somehow managing to be more and more entertaining every single week while putting on such stellar performances. A social media user said that her creative talent was only found once in a generation.

I can not believe the @WWE didn't utilize her potential!
Major win for @AEW
Toni Storm genuinely a great actress. Of all the wrestlers that transitioned to Hollywood I’d pay to see Toni Storm go into the big screen

A fan said that this segment truly helped make this a great episode of Dynamite. Some said that WWE missed the mark in making full use of Storm’s potential. Now, she had turned into a great asset for AEW, perhaps carrying their entire women’s division on her back.
