Personal
[edit]On April 1, 2017, Colton Storm was pranked by his fellow Sporting Kansas City teammates Dom Dwyer and Soony Saad. Storm believed he was speaking to a girl named Joanna, and introduced himself as another man named Mark from Cabo. Storm was actually in contact with Dwyer who was responding through Joanna's social media account. Storm showed up at a local Kansas City café and was met by Sporting Kansas City's manager Peter Vermes. Vermes told Storm that he knew that Storm was pretending to be "Mark from Cabo" and told him Joanna was not coming. Storm then saw his teammates Dwyer and Saad and realized that he had been catfished.[7]
