#4 Toni Storm
Impact Pro Wrestling Australia (IPWA) gave a young Toni Storm a chance to become a future Superstar, and the 13-year-old did not disappoint the promotion.
Born in October 1995, Storm pushed her mother to allow her to move to England when she turned 18 and live with her grandmother to pursue her dreams of becoming a pro-wrestler.

She put in all the hard work required, and in May 2017, Storm became the first-ever Progress Women's Champion. She was also among the first women to main-event a Progress show.
Storm joined NXT UK in 2017, and in October 2018, at WWE Evolution she defeated Io Shirai to win the 2018 Mae Young Classic.
Storm then continued her reign to defeat Rhea Ripley for the NXT United Kingdom Women’s Championship at NXT UK TakeOver: Blackpool. She held the title for an impressive 231 days before dropping it to Kay Lee Ray.
Her reign established her as a true force in WWE, and we’ve since seen her compete at Survivor Series and also challenge for the NXT Women’s title.
It’s only a matter of time before Storm wins the big one in NXT too and then moves to another brand where she can lead the women’s division singlehandedly.
