AEW Star To Toni Storm: “I’m Going To Make You Eat S**t”
Toni Storm has been warned.
Since late 2025, the former AEW Women’s World Champion has been involved in a heated feud with Marina Shafir of the Death Riders faction.
Their rivalry took shape when Storm and Mina Shirakawa, as the Timeless Love Bombs, defeated Shafir and Megan Bayne in the Women’s World Tag Team Championship Tournament.
Shafir especially targeted Shirakawa, including once during the Blood and Guts match, forcing Storm to watch her partner get beaten up.
The two even clashed at AEW Worlds End, this time in a Mixed Nuts Mayhem match, which Toni Storm’s team won. A tornado mixed match was held in the December 31 episode, where the Death Riders won.
More recently, Storm and Shafir clashed on Collision during Darby Allin’s match against Wheeler Yuta.
This led to Shafir cutting a vicious promo, where she threatened Storm, vowing to “Make you eat s**t.”
“A woman who gets distracted by love, romance & oranges. You’re making this way too easy for me.”

Toni Storm Reveals What He WWE Run Lacked
Before joining AEW, Toni Storm was signed to WWE between 2017 and 2021.
She debuted on the main roster on the July 23, 2021, episode of SmackDown after being escalated from NXT.
Storm was involved in multiple storylines, even earning a Women’s Championship match against Charlotte Flair in a losing cause.
However, in late December that year, she requested her release, which was immediately granted.
During an interview on the Marking Out Podcast, the 30-year-old looked back on her time in the Stamford-based promotion, revealing what her character lacked.
In the WWE, I don’t think I was told what to do enough. I wasn’t told to do anything, actually. I wasn’t told like, I mean, obviously you were told what to do under certain circumstances. But overall, I don’t feel like I was told what to do enough. I was very lost.
I mean, there’s direction in things like, ‘This is how you do it, this is what you do, this is what you do on television, this is cameras.’ But then, I guess in regards to a character — I was never like, I mean they write promos, but like I was just kind of — just did it. I wasn’t really told like, ‘Do this. Today you’re a cat and this is your character. Your name’s bloody Tori Smith.’
No one told me anything. And I kept my name the whole time, and it was like I had complete creative freedom to be honest. I saw where others didn’t and others were given things. So it’s a very difficult thing for me to grasp. Am I getting too deep?
