Former AEW Women's World Champion Toni Storm introduced an Amnesia gimmick after her return to weekly programming a few weeks ago. Storm was recently seen speaking with some stars and producers backstage on Collision. The talented star also came across her former butler, Luther.
Toni Storm returned to AEW at Dynamite: Winter is Coming last month. She dropped her Timeless gimmick and started acting as someone who's having her first run in Tony Khan's promotion. However, her friends and foes from the past have been trying to remind the Auckland-born star about her previous accolades. The former world champion also came across a familiar face backstage in All Elite Wrestling this past Saturday on Collision.
In an exclusive backstage video uploaded on AEW's X account, Toni Storm was seen asking for advice from stars and producers, including her former valet and butler, Luther. The 29-year-old surprisingly didn't speak about their past and asked Luther to check out her match against Deonna Purrazzo later that night on Collision.

AEW commentator heaps praise on Toni Storm
Toni Storm is a former AEW Women's World Champion. She has had a great career and may have possibly introduced an even better gimmick this time than her previous Timeless persona. The Amnesia gimmick of Storm has garnered the attention of fans, and the payoff could be huge.
In the recent edition of What Happened When, veteran commentator Tony Schiavone showered praise on the Auckland-born star and called her one of the top five female stars in professional wrestling. He also called Toni a "quality person."
“Toni is probably top five of the best women wrestlers; one of the best women wrestlers I’ve ever seen as far as her in-ring work, too. She is absolutely killing it. Toni Storm is a quality person that you want to see prosper; want to see get ahead," Schiavone said. [H/T: Fightful]
