Why Toni Storm Will Never Return To WWE

Toni Storm has spelt out exactly why she’ll never return to WWE as she pledges her wrestling future to AEW.

Toni Storm has had unparalleled success since embracing her ‘Timeless’ side in AEW. The star is the only person to hold the AEW Women’s Championship four times and has more days combined as champion than anyone else in the company’s history.

All of this is a long way removed from Storm having a cream pie thrown in her face by Charlotte Flair in an ill-fated moment on WWE SmackDown. It wasn’t too long after that that Toni Storm asked for her release from WWE and flew herself home from a live event.

Now, speaking on The Sandman podcast, Storm explained why she will never make the jump back to WWE, as her wrestling future is only with AEW:

When I’m done wrestling, you’ll never see me again. You’ll never see me in any other capacity, or in any other company for that matter. There’s no encore. This is it. I’m not doing anything else. Where would I go? What would I do? Because I’m on a long deal for AEW. I signed my life to AEW. I’m on a five-year deal and I can’t remember how long—but I’m a lifer for AEW.

There’s no like, oh, well, I’ll see what happens. And that’s no offense to them (WWE). I think they’re great. And I understand them for exactly what they are. They’re a machine. They’re a business, and I just don’t fit in with their whole shtick. And that’s cool. I love a lot of the people that work there. It’s like, yes, get that money. Get that power. But realistically, in my life, like, that’s it. How long can I do this? I don’t know. But I could do another 20 years with AEW.

Toni Storm will defend her AEW Women’s Title against three challengers at All Out in Toronto on September 20th.
