"She's just geeking out over him" - Wrestling legend hates Toni Storm's new gimmick and interaction with top AEW star

Former AEW Women's World Champion Toni Storm has finally made her return to All Elite Wrestling. Interestingly, it appears like she has forgotten that she signed with them in 2022. She has been behaving like she is new to the promotion.

Storm made her comeback earlier this month on Dynamite: Winter Is Coming. However, she has ditched her iconic 'Timeless' gimmick and reverted to her 'Rockstar' persona, which she portrayed during her WWE run. Furthermore, she is receiving quite a lot of attention because her current character has no recollection of the last two years of her career. She has seemingly forgotten that she is a three-time AEW Women's World Champion. However, wrestling legend Konnan is not a fan of it.

The 29-year-old's new 'Rockstar' persona has been subjected to both, praise and criticism. Fans want to see this character develop. On the latest episode of Keepin' It 100, the 60-year-old said that he does not like new Storm and felt uneasy with her interaction with Mark Briscoe on TV.

"They've been subpar at that (in developing Toni Storm's story). For example, I don't know if it was Collision I was watching and Toni Storm came back as this giddy stupid chick that was like, 'Oh I can't believe I'm in AEW'. There's Mark Briscoe, and she's just geeking out over him... She was one of the most interesting characters and she showed dimension. And she wasn't just one-dimensional. That was working out pretty good. Why didn't she stay with that? I don't like this thing," said Konnan. [From 1:54 to 2:55]
