Toni Storm believes in the AEW division.
Toni Storm is the reigning AEW Interim Women’s World Champion. AEW had to crown an interim champion when Thunder Rosa, the AEW Women’s World Champion, got injuredn ahead of AEW All Out. Storm won the gold at the pay-per-view by defeating Britt Baker, Hikaru Shida, and Jamie Hayter. Many times throughout the years, fans have been very critical of the AEW women’s division, including complaining about women not getting enough TV time. Toni Storm sat down with Scott Fishman of TV Insider, where she was asked about the state of the AEW women’s division.
It’s a story as old as time. Women’s wrestling struggles to get the same amount of time as the guys. We are put in a different position, but I really do believe we are headed in the right direction. We’ve got a locker room full of really hardworking and talented women that I believe are the future. It’s going to change the entire game. I think we’re going to overcome and get more time and see more emphasis on ourselves. But we’re doing the hard work. I’m very confident in this entire division. I’m proud to be at the top and will do whatever I can to push it where it needs to go. I’m proud of everyone back there. I’m choosing to be positive. I think, little by little, there will be more emphasis on us in AEW. We just need to keep breaking down that door. I also think consistency is what will get us there,
