WWE Unlikely to Pursue Toni Storm Amid AEW Success
Reports indicate WWE will likely not attempt to sign Toni Storm, as the company would be hesitant to replicate her successful AEW gimmick and would face a bidding war with Tony Khan.
Toni Rossall (born 19 October 1995), better known by the ring name Toni Storm, is a New Zealand-Australian professional wrestler. She is signed to All Elite Wrestling (AEW), where she performs as "Timeless" Toni Storm and is the reigning AEW Women's World Champion in her record-setting fourth reign.
Rossall first gained attention in WWE, winning the Mae Young Classic tournament in 2018 at WWE's first all-female pay-per-view, Evolution. She became a one-time NXT UK Women's Champion performed on the NXT UK, NXT, and SmackDown brands before requesting her release in 2021. Rossall has held various world championships from other promotions around the world, such as the World of Stardom Championship and SWA World Championship for a record-setting reign of 612 days, both in the Japanese promotion World Wonder Ring Stardom, the Progress Women's Championship in the British promotion Progress Wrestling, and the wXw Women's Championship twice in the German promotion Westside Xtreme Wrestling (wXw).
