At least she put over Charlotte on her way out

[Supreme Olajuwon]

Wording is weird. Doesn’t say released. Just says gone. Hmm.

[slik]

Her main roster run was very succesful

Vignettes for weeks
Debuts
Disappears from television for months
Returns
Charlotte throws pie in her face on camera
Cuts a promo crying about Charlotte being a bully
"gone"

[ron the dial]

didn't catch any of her main roster stuff, but really enjoyed her in nxt/nxtuk. hopefully she's doing well and can pursue whatever she wants now.

[Triple A]

PWInsider:

The story making the rounds is that Storm requested and received a release. WWE's internal announcement did not state Storm was released due to budget cuts.

Probably would rather be home and work independent. Its one thing to keep a job you dont really like, its another to keep a job you dont really like in another country.

[Triple A]

Hope she goes to AEW...

weird crop in the embed......

[slik]

damn at Britt tweet having 3,000 likes in only 10 minutes

[Triple A]

Seems insane how much WWE fucked up Toni Storm

Feel like there must have been something going on "backstage" because it seemed like they were blatantly burying her for like the past 2 years

[Triple A]

I think they made her one of the people running after the 24/7 title at a house show over the weekend

[erickman]

she is going to the impact zone to be with her boy juice. aew needs to re open there door to impact with the womens wrestlers.

[slik]

she did an interview recently

This probably will help the likelihood of that rumor about Lacey Evans winning the Rumble and facing Charlotte at WM

Unless they pull a Brock Lesnar, neither Becky or Charlotte will be in it as they are the champs. Bliss has been gone for quite a while, and Sonya is not an active wrestler.

If none of that changes that brings them down to 16 women. So they have to come up with 14 more from NXT and Legends. It is not impossible, but if damn near half of the entrants are surprises, that is not great booking lol.

Toni Storm will be excellent in AEW. This is a good release. I haven't been able to enjoy WWE for years but when I saw Toni she was amazing and clearly one of the best and most beautiful women in the business. She is so beautiful and lovely you can't even believe it, she makes me piss my pants because of it. I need diapers now.

[Mr. Nerfect]

Toni Storm looks good and I’ve heard good things about her, but she was absolutely horrid on SmackDown. People LOVE to blame the company, but talent has to wear shit. They tried to use her and she couldn’t do anything. The matches stank, her promos stank, her reactions to things stank.

She isn’t likely to make a difference anywhere she goes, because wherever she goes, there she is.

[Evil Vito]

19 posts into a Toni Storm thread with no pics of her big beautiful ass. For shame.

[Jordan]

I fucking love her ass you guys

[drave]

where does it rank on a scale of Abaddon sculpted vag? 2, 3, 7.5?

[Sepholio]

Apparently after the triple threat with Sasha and Charlotte was over Toni went back stage, packed her shit, bought a plane ticket out of there on her own dime and told management she quit.

A lot of reports she was unhappy with booking. Which, granted, she hasn't been used much since her call up. But it seems weird to get tired of not being used right when they throw you into a main event scenario with the 2 biggest stars on that brand. I dunno, was she upset with the booking of the match that much? She had to know she was gonna job hard in that match. No way she was expecting to be hotshotted there. So I dunno. Like I said, timing seems weird to me on this one.

I dunno what she does now. I'd guess Impact. She'd probably do better in AEW but in reality it's not like she is going to get better booking there. Women get less attention in AEW in general than they do in WWE and it's not like she won't be jobbing to Nyla and the Dr. in short order anyways. I'd personally rather be on more TVs and have to job to Charlotte/Sasha than be a jobber to Nyla/Britt in a division with far less time to spare.

Oh well, it's her decision and I hope it works out well for her regardless. Hope she ends up in TNA where they might actually push her to the top of their division and she can also be with Juice.

[erickman]

if she allready took her stuff wonder if wwe will still mail stuff in a trash bag for her.

[Fignuts]

In all honesty, it's not a great look for her. Yeah she was underutilized in nxt, and was a bit directionless after coming to the main roster, but that's kind of par for the course in WWE, and now she's working with their top stars.

Wonder if her time in Stardom didn't go to her head. Cause as someone who watched quite a bit of it, she got a lot more than she rightly deserved in her time there. She's not bad, but she went over so many more talented girls in that company.

[Fignuts]

All that said, still one of the most wonderful derrieres in the business today.

[ClockShot]

Well, what's Juice doing these days? (Spare the smartass answers.)

He still working Impact? Jump back to New Japan?

I'd figure wherever he is, she'll follow.

Look, it’s a high pressure situation. It’s also compounded by Vince McMahon’s eyes being on you, it not being a spot that starts from the conclusion you are awesome, and you’ve got Dave Meltzer saying they’ve given up on you on his radio show, etc. I only saw parts, but a lot of people were underwhelmed by her run up there. As I said, it’s trendy to blame the company, but when you’ve got this rep for being an amazing worker and future star based on your looks-to-talent ratio, that ideal presentation can clash with the reality of what you’re delivering.

She says she was upset with her booking? If true, I just imagine she wasn’t happy doing promos, working with cake, laughing at the heel being embarrassed, and didn’t feel like she was achieving in the role. But that’s the role. And she’s more willing to blame the WWE for not booking around Toni Storm, 20-something bombshell with a rep than she is for not living up to that rep and adapting. And that’s fine. She probably would be suited to an AEW or STARDOM more. But the way she tried to quit is pretty unprofessional, although I do like talent who put their foot down in these situations.

I don’t think it’s a given she ends up where Juice is. Their relationship may not thrive on them being together all the time. They haven’t spent that time together so far. Impact doesn’t offer much and New Japan itself isn’t set up for women. I’m not sure how much time Juice is spending in Japan versus stateside anyway.

I think the most obvious places for her to end up are AEW, given their resources and how happy they’d be to gobble her up, and the WOW thing CBS-Viacom are starting — which may or may not have a working relationship with AEW, especially if it ends up on the CW Network or something, which is partly owned by Warner.
