Since her debut in WWE, the 25-year-old is billed from the Gold Coast, Queensland in Australia. However, she was born in a different country.

Storm was born in Auckland, New Zealand. The former WWE NXT UK Women's Champion was four when she moved to Australia with her mother following her parents' separation.

Toni Storm recently joined SmackDown coming from NXT. She made her debut on the blue brand last Friday and went one-on-one with Zelina Vega. The 25-year-old emerged victorious in her first match on the main roster.

It will be interesting to see if Storm will enter the SmackDown Women's Championship title picture soon. Before joining SmackDown, she attempted to capture the NXT Women's Championship four times but failed. She now hopes to have better luck with the women's title on the blue brand.
