On 24 November 2019 on the TakeOver: WarGames post-show Q&A session with Triple H, Storm was announced to be a part of the NXT Women's Survivor Series team by team captain Rhea Ripley.[32] At Survivor Series, Storm was eliminated via submission by Natalya and Sasha Banks.[33] At NXT UK TakeOver: Blackpool II, Storm competed unsuccessfully in a triple threat match for the NXT UK Women's Championship against Kay Lee Ray and Piper Niven.[34] Storm participated in the women's Royal Rumble match at the namesake pay-per-view and entered at #20 but was eliminated by Shayna Baszler.[35] Storm wrestled her last match in the brand on 27 February 2020 episode of NXT UK, losing to Kay Lee Ray in an "I Quit" match.[36]

And I just felt like [WWE], at times, didn't have very much respect for me. I feel like, over time, they just crushed my love for wrestling. It just wasn't even wrestling anymore. You're not even allowed to say 'wrestling'."[50]

Championship reigns; The Outcasts (2022–2023)

Storm made her AEW debut on 30 March 2022 episode of Dynamite as a participant in the qualifier match for the Owen Hart Foundation Women's Tournament, defeating The Bunny.[51] AEW then announced Storm signed with the company.[52] Storm defeated Jamie Hayter in the quarterfinals of the tournament,[53] and she was defeated by Britt Baker in the semi-finals.[54] On Road Rager special episode of Dynamite, Storm defeated Baker in a rematch to challenge AEW Women's World Champion Thunder Rosa for the title at AEW x NJPW: Forbidden Door[55] in a losing effort.[56] At All Out, Storm defeated Baker, Hayter, and Hikaru Shida in a four-way match to become AEW Interim Women's World Champion.[57] She then defended her title against Athena, Baker, and Serena Deeb at Grand Slam.[58] She lost her championship in a title match against Hayter at Full Gear, ending her first reign at 76 days.[59][60] On the following episode of Dynamite, AEW recognized Storm's reign as a lineal champion, due to Rosa forfeiting the title, much to Toni Storm's chagrin. [61]

On 11 January 2023 episode of Dynamite, Storm teamed with Saraya in a losing effort to Hayter and Baker. Shida accidentally assisted the opposing team with her signature kendo stick, where Baker was able to capitalize, allowing for Hayter to pin Storm for the win.[62] The following week, Storm and Saraya turned heel as they attacked Willow Nightingale and declaring war on the AEW Women's locker room, they would also attempt to recruit Ruby Soho.[63] At Revolution, after Hayter defeated Ruby Soho and Saraya, Soho attacked Hayter and Baker officially aligning with Storm and Saraya.[64] On 10 March, the group became officially known as The Outcasts.[65] Over the next month, they continued a winning streak against the homegrown talent while humiliating them with their signature branding using spray paint.[66][67][68]

At Double or Nothing, Storm defeated Hayter to win her record-setting second AEW Women's World Championship.[69] On the first episode of Collision on 17 June, Storm and Soho made the debut in a tag team match against Blue and NJPW Strong Women's Champion Willow Nightingale.[70] Storm then retained her title against Nightingale at Forbidden Door.[71] In July, Storm defeated Taya Valkyrie in a title match at Battle of the Belts VII.[72] On 2 August episode of Dynamite 200, Storm lost the title to Hikaru Shida, ending her second reign at 66 days.[73][60] Storm failed to regain the title in a four-way match involving Shida, Saraya, and Baker at All In where she got pinned by Saraya.[74] At All Out, Storm turned on The Outcasts when she stopped Soho from using spray paint against AEW TBS Champion Kris Statlander in their title match.[75] At Grand Slam, Storm failed to win the AEW Women's World Championship from Saraya.[76]

"Timeless" (2023–present)

Devastated about losing the AEW Women's World Championship to Hikaru Shida at Dynamite 200, Storm began to transition to a new on-screen persona of a demanding and paranoid Golden Age of Hollywood starlet.[77][78] Storm eventually dubbed herself as "Timeless" Toni Storm on 4 October episode of Dynamite.[79] Following the 25 October episode of Dynamite, Storm began to be accompanied in vignettes and to the ring by Luther, who serves as her personal butler.[80][81] In the same episode of Dynamite, it was announced that Storm would face Shida for the AEW Women's World Championship at Full Gear.[82] In the shows that followed after the announcement, Storm has been appearing after Shida's matches in attempts to steal Shida's spotlight to Shida's initial confusion and later, annoyance, causing Shida to attack Storm after one of her spotlight stealing attempts.[83][84][85] On the 8 November of Dynamite, the debuting Mariah May was introduced as an over-the-top fan of Storm.[86][87] In the following months, Storm adopted Mariah May as an "understudy" and protégé.[88][89] At Full Gear on 18 November, Storm defeated Shida to win the AEW Women's World Championship for a record-tying third time.[90] On December 30 at Worlds End, Storm successfully defended the AEW Women's World Championship against Riho.[91]

In November 2023 Mariah May was introduced on AEW programming as an obsessive fan of Storm. May would later become her "understudy" and played "the part" of Storm's previous persona until May's betrayal in July 2024.

On March 3, 2024 at Revolution, Storm successfully defended her title against Deonna Purrazzo.[92] It was also at Revolution that Mariah May adopted Storm's previous "Rockstar" persona, including wearing Storm's old ring attire and entrance music, and would begin wrestling matches on Dynamite and Collison in this persona as a tribute to her mentor Storm.[93] On April 21 at Dynasty, Storm successfully defended the AEW Women's World Championship against Thunder Rosa.[94] On May 26 at Double or Nothing, Storm successfully defended her title against Serena Deeb.[95] During Stardom's June 2 event, Storm along with May appeared in a vignette where Storm challenged Mina Shirakawa to a match at Forbidden Door.[96] On the June 5 episode of Dynamite, Shirakawa accepted the challenge and the match was made official.[97] At Forbidden Door, Storm retained the title and following the match Storm, May and Shirakawa put aside their differences with a three-way kiss.[98] Throughout the Storm/Shirakawa rivalry, it had been teased that May was conflicted about who to side with, her mentor Storm or former Stardom tag partner Shirakawa, and that she was romantically tied to both women.[98] On the July 10 episode of Dynamite, Storm was attacked by May after May defeated Willow Nightingale in the finals of the Owen Hart Foundation Women's Tournament to earn a shot at her AEW Women's World Championship on August 25 at All In, turning face after being a tweener alongside May for months.[99] On August 25 at All In, Storm lost the AEW Women's World Championship to May, ending her third reign at 281 days.[100]

New Japan Pro-Wrestling (2023)

On 21 May 2023, Storm made her debut for New Japan Pro-Wrestling at Resurgence, interfering in the street fight match between Juice Robinson and Fred Rosser, aiding Robinson in defeating Rosser, after getting physically involved during the match.[101]

Consejo Mundial de Lucha Libre (2024–present)

On September 28, 2024, it was revealed that Toni Storm would be facing La Catalina at the CMLL Viernes Espectacular event on October 11, marking her CMLL debut, as well as her first match in Mexico.[102] On the October 2 edition of CMLL Informa, Toni shot her first promo for CMLL, sending a warning out to everyone on the roster about her arrival.[103]

Persona

Beginning in 2023, Storm took on the persona of a Golden Age of Hollywood starlet, drawing comparisons to Gloria Swanson and Norma Shearer

While competing on the independent circuit, Storm began to develop different personas before settling on one highly influenced by her enjoyment of 1980s glam metal music, leading her to take on a "rock star" aesthetic. This persona carried on through her time under the WWE banner and into the early goings of her run in AEW.[104]

Beginning in the latter half of 2023 in conjunction with her disassociation from The Outcasts stable, she adopted the "Timeless" Toni Storm persona which saw her transition into the character of a demanding and paranoid Golden Age of Hollywood starlet.[77][78] As part of the transition, Storm dropped her previous rock star aesthetic and began sporting a bobbed and curled haircut, wearing early 20th-century fashion-inspired outfits and appearing in black and white vignettes.[105] During her matches, "Timeless" Toni Storm began to dictate to AEW's director, telling them "I'm ready for my close up" (quoting Gloria Swanson's character in Sunset Boulevard) before a dramatic zoom as well as speaking directly to the audience, informing them "And now a word from our sponsors" just before a break for commercial.[106] The "Timeless" persona drew comparisons to actresses Swanson and Norma Shearer.[77][107] Later elements of the gimmick – such as her feud with Mariah May – took inspiration from other Golden Age films, such as All About Eve and What Ever Happened to Baby Jane?[108]

One of Storm's finishing maneuvers is a piledriver dubbed the "Storm Zero".[104]

Other media

As Toni Storm, Rossall is a playable character in the video games WWE 2K20[109] and WWE 2K22.[110] She also appears in AEW Fight Forever as DLC.[111]

In August 2022, Rossall was featured as the cover girl of Fitness Gurls magazine.[112]

Personal life

In June 2020, it was revealed that Rossall was dating American wrestler Juice Robinson.[113][114] They were married in 2022.[115]

In June 2021, during Rossall's takeover of the WWE NXT Instagram account for Pride Month, she came out as bisexual.[116]
