Toni Storm Suffers Vicious Assault, Match Made For AEW Revolution

“Timeless” Toni Storm will need to write a perfect Hollywood ending at Revolution.

At Grand Slam Australia, “Timeless” Toni Storm defeated Mariah May to claim the Women’s World Championship. The victory not only capped off an emotional homecoming for Storm but represented the culmination of a journey back from the depths of despair that engulfed her following All In.

Back in August, it was May who had her hand raised in victory after beating a Storm all over Wembley Stadium. This loss sent Storm into a spiral where she lost high-profile matches in Japan and Mexico after going on hiatus from AEW.

So when she returned to the company in December, she went back to basics in her “Rockstar” persona as a young rookie making her way in the industry.

Over the next several weeks Storm enjoyed a rapid rise and earned a shot at May at Grand Slam Australia after winning a Casino Gauntlet Match. Not that she was able to hide her true flamboyant self for long, and in a face-to-face confrontation on Collision “Timeless” Toni Storm returned.

However, while Storm is back on top of the world after her victory in Australia, May is far from ready to move on.

Toni Storm Left Beaten And Broken

In the moments after the February 22 edition of Collision came on the air, several AEW stars were shown preparing for the show backstage, including Toni Storm. However, the Women’s Champion was ambushed by Mariah May and launched headfirst into a storage case.

May continued the beating and dragged her rival onto the stage by the hair, before delivering a brutal headbutt and a Storm Zero. The British star got hold of a microphone and called for Storm’s spotlight to be placed on them as she cradled her dazed former friend.

May said that Storm never knew how to write an ending, but at Revolution, she was going to write one in her blood.

The match for March 9 was made official later in the show.
