Tony Khan made a significant announcement regarding Toni Storm’s immediate plans after her impressive victory against Mercedes Moné last weekend at AEW All In: Texas. The AEW Women’s World Champion successfully defended her title in one of the promotion’s most highly anticipated matches.
During the pay-per-view event, known as The Timeless One, Toni Storm faced off against Mercedes Moné, a competitor whose record was seen as nearly equal to hers within AEW. Storm overcame the challenge, handing Moné her first singles defeat since joining the company.
Khan confirmed that Toni Storm will deliver her victory speech on the upcoming episode of AEW Dynamite, set to air the day after the event.
“Wednesday Night #AEWDynamite Chicago, IL; TBS + HBO Max TOMORROW AEW Women’s World Champion “Timeless” Toni Storm Victory Speech After her win vs TBS Champion Mercedes Moné in a bout between all-time greats, World Champion Timeless Toni Storm makes her victory speech TOMORROW!” Tony announced.
Toni Storm Reflects on Memorable Moment with Mercedes Moné
One of the match’s standout moments came when Toni Storm kissed Mercedes Moné while she was positioned on the top rope, immediately followed by Storm’s finishing move, the avalanche Storm Zero, which secured her victory. This unexpected gesture was a talking point after the match.
At the All In: Texas media scrum, Storm provided insight into that moment, revealing she had planned to do it for some time and seized the opportunity during the bout. Her comments showed a mix of humor and genuine admiration for her opponent.
“I just always really wanted to do that, to be honest. She did say one thing about me; she said, ‘Toni, you’re a mark.’ You know what, she’s absolutely right; maybe I’m just a mark. So, I just wanted to kiss her, and I finally got to kiss her. I did not expect her to kiss me first; that was nice. But yes, I was always a big fan,” Storm said. [H/T: Ringside News]
