The latest episode of AEW Dynamite has left the whole wrestling world buzzing. The main event of the Wednesday Night show witnessed Mariah May defeat Willow Nightingale in the finals of the Owen Hart Foundation Tournament.
Following her grand victory, The Glamour was joined by her mistress, Toni Storm, who is all set to be Mariah's opponent at All In 2024. As the two stars continued their celebrations, The Fighting Princess blasted Storm with the Owen Hart Cup Championship, leaving the champion a bloody mess.

The 25-year-old star further continued her remorseless assault on the Timeless Superstar, effectively cementing her heel turn in the process.
The shocking ending of Dynamite has turned May vs. Storm into one of the most anticipated matches on the All In card. Considering the gravity of May's betrayal, Wembley Stadium is all set to witness a war for the AEW Women's Championship. In this article, let's look at five possible directions for Mariah May vs. Toni Storm at All In.
#5. Toni Storm returns without the Timeless gimmick
As entertaining as Toni Storm has been with her Timeless gimmick, now might be the time for her to ditch the popular character. Fans adore Storm's black-and-white persona to a great extent, as her quirky mannerisms and humorous remarks draw amazing reactions from the audience.
However, Mariah May's betrayal may prompt Storm to switch to a more serious character. The AEW Women's Champion could bring the war to the Fighting Princess, punishing her for every single drop of blood she had to shed.
By dropping the "Timeless" persona, Storm could effectively display her hatred for her former ally, without being bound by any comedic gimmick. A bloodthirsty Toni Storm going up against a motivated Mariah May would make up for an intriguing dynamic at All In.
#4. Luther sides with Mariah May
Luther has been an essential part of Toni Storm's Timeless gimmick since the very beginning. Allying himself with the AEW Women's Champion has proven beneficial for the 55-year-old star, who was struggling to find his footing as a character.
As Mariah May looks determined to take everything away from Storm, she may force Luther to join her as well. After being betrayed by her beloved mentee, Toni Storm might not be able to lose another trusted ally.
Luther's heel turn will further up the stakes for the AEW Women's Championship at All In. The back-to-back betrayals may cause The Timeless Superstar to fully embrace her unhinged side, which may not turn out well for The Glamour.
#3. Jamie Hayter costs Toni Storm her match against Mariah May
Jamie Hayter has been away from AEW television for almost 13 months. Her last match for the Jacksonville-based promotion took place in May 2023, where she lost her AEW Women's Title to Toni Storm.
Reportedly, Hayter was backstage on Dynamite recently, sparking rumors of her possible in-ring return. If Hayter is indeed set for a return soon, entering the AEW Women's Championship picture might be the best direction for her to explore.
The British Superstar could take out Toni Storm at All In to avenge her title loss against the Timeless Superstar.
By interfering in the title match, Jamie Hayter would instantly re-establish herself as a key figure in the women's division, which would be another great news for All Elite Wrestling.
The interference would also add another element of intrigue to the Women's Championship picture. Not only would it help Mariah May become the new champion, but it would also prolong the intense feud between May and Storm.
#2. Mina Shirakawa joins hands with Mariah May against the AEW Women's Champion
At Forbidden Door 2024, Mina Shirakawa came up short in her AEW Women's Championship match against Toni Storm. The major focal point of the Mina vs. Storm feud was Mariah May, who had to make a choice between her two close friends.
However, The Glamour shared a triple kiss with Storm and Shirakawa at Forbidden Door, refusing to betray either of her allies. Interestingly, the memorable triple kiss made Mariah's eventual heel turn even more unexpected.
Now that The Fighting Princess has essentially cut her ties with her master, Mina Shirakawa could be on her way back to AEW. The STARDOM talent could act as The Glamour's shield against the Timeless star, who will certainly be out for revenge.
Mina's presence could prove to be detrimental to Toni Storm, which could possibly cost her the AEW Women's Title at All In.
#1. Tony Khan announces a stipulation for the May vs. Storm match at All In
When Toni Storm battles Mariah May at All In, it is not going to be a typical wrestling match. Considering their genuine animosity, the two stars will be adamant about spilling each other's blood when they lock horns inside the Wembley Stadium.
It will be a missed opportunity on Tony Khan’s part if the May vs Storm match is contested under normal wrestling rules. After suffering a brutal assault at the hands of The Fighting Princess, it would be unfair if Toni Storm had to stick to the rules in her All In title defense.
Instead, the AEW President could introduce a special hardcore stipulation for this contest, allowing the two stars to settle their scores once and for all. While there are several intriguing stipulations to choose from, a "First Blood" match would serve as the perfect conclusion to this heated rivalry.
