9 Current WWE stars you didn't know battled mental health issues

#5 Toni Storm

Storm was raised in the wrestling ring

Although she is only 24 years old, Toni Storm has been in the wrestling business for almost half of her life! She made her wrestling debut at the age of thirteen, which is why it comes as no surprise why she wrestles at the impressive level she’s at now.

But it hasn’t all been smooth sailing for the Australian-born star; The second-ever NXT UK Women’s champion was hit hard after nude photos of her were leaked onto the internet - a serious crime which is becoming an increasing problem in recent times.

This sent Storm into a spiral of depression and anxiety, symptoms she had experienced before in her life, but not with this intensity.

She explained:

“I just shut down because I knew stuff had leaked. I was already in kind of a bad place mentally. I’ve always really struggled with depression, anxiety big time. I never really spoken out about it.”

Thankfully, Storm had a support network of good friends around her who helped her navigate through the darkness:

“Now I’m in a place where I can laugh about it with friends, but it was awful at the time.”

She’s one of WWE’s best talents and unquestionably has a bright future ahead of her.
