For those who aren’t familiar with Toni Storm’s pro wrestling career, the 27-year-old is a former WWE superstar. The New Zealand-Australian pro wrestler performed for the Stamford-based promotion from 2017 to 2021.
Her WWE departure circulated around controversy and created a lot of buzz on the internet. According to the former NXT UK Women’s Champion herself, WWE’s hectic schedule exhausted her, and that subsequently became the reason for her exit from the company. She also believed WWE didn’t care about her.
The AEW star’s last WWE televised appearance took place on the Christmas Eve edition of SmackDown in 2021. She took on Charlotte Flair for the SmackDown Women’s Championship but fell short of capturing the title. She requested her release from WWE the following week and was subsequently granted her request.
