Toni Storm breaks silence after winning the AEW Women's World Title at Grand Slam 2025

Toni Storm is the new AEW Women's World Champion. She defeated Mariah May at Grand Slam: Australia to win the title.

The Fighting Princess arrived in AEW as Storm's fan and soon became very close to her. But she betrayed The Timeless One after winning the Owen Hart Foundation Tournament in 2024. May also went on to defeat her former ally for the Women's World Championship at last year's All In.

After suffering a loss at All In, The Timeless One took time off and returned after nearly four months in her Rockstar persona. She then won the Women's World Title number one contendership Casino Gauntlet match to earn a shot at The Glamour's gold.

Amid her heated feud with Mariah May, Toni Storm brought back her Timeless character. The two locked horns at Grand Slam: Australia, where Storm beat May to become the new champion. Following her victory, the former WWE star addressed the crowd and thanked them for their support.

"The first time I ever came to this place was when I was in '07, with my mom, and we sat right there, man. And she made this beautiful costume. You know, I was gonna end the show with a nutbush, but I've unfortunately torn my labia again. Before I go, I just wanna thank you all because it was the greatest time of my life."
