Toni Storm has held the AEW Women’s World Championship for more than 190 days, establishing herself as a dominant force in All Elite Wrestling. With the upcoming All Out pay-per-view set for next month at Toronto’s Scotiabank Arena, fans are eager to see who might challenge the 29-year-old champion for her title in this high-profile event.
Marina Shafir: A rising threat from Jon Moxley’s faction
Marina Shafir, known for her role within Jon Moxley’s Death Riders faction, has supported Moxley during his lengthy AEW World Championship reign. Despite thriving as a key member of the group, Shafir has yet to shine as a singles competitor. Her potential feud with Toni Storm could mark a breakthrough moment, pushing her toward prominence in the women’s division. At 37, Shafir’s unpredictability and resilience could introduce fresh excitement to the AEW Women’s World Title chase.
Athena’s ongoing pursuit of the championship fuels rivalry intensity
Athena has been embroiled in a heated rivalry with Toni Storm since AEW Dynamite following the All In 2025 event. Although she came up short in her title match against Storm at Forbidden Door, Athena’s determination to claim the championship remains strong. Considering the recent buzz surrounding their feud, a rematch at All Out appears likely. The Minion Overlord is widely viewed as a top candidate to dethrone Storm, making their next encounter highly anticipated and uncertain in outcome.
Thekla’s rapid rise positions her as a formidable challenger
Since debuting in AEW in May, Thekla has built an impressive winning streak, scoring victories over Willow Nightingale and Queen Aminata. Her alliance with Skye Blue and Julia Hart in the Triangle of Madness faction further solidified her status following a key win at Forbidden Door against tough competitors such as Kris Statlander and Harley Cameron. AEW President Tony Khan seems committed to elevating Thekla as a future star, and her villainous persona sets the stage for an engaging showdown with Toni Storm at All Out in Canada.
What lies ahead for the AEW Women’s World Championship at All Out
With a lineup of challengers featuring Marina Shafir, Athena, and Thekla, Toni Storm faces intriguing possibilities as she prepares to defend her title in Toronto. Each contender offers a unique dynamic, from Shafir’s faction-backed momentum to Athena’s relentless determination and Thekla’s emerging star power. As AEW continues to expand its women’s division, the matchups at All Out will be crucial in shaping the future landscape and could potentially redefine the championship’s trajectory.
