Toni Storm AEW Women’s Champion, known as the Timeless star, remains one of wrestling’s most admired figures, currently holding the AEW Women’s World Championship for the fourth time. Former WWE competitor Athena, who recently won the Women’s Casino Gauntlet at All In 2025, has secured a title shot and will face Storm at the major Forbidden Door event later this year. This clash promises to be a high-stakes battle that fans eagerly anticipate around the globe.
Athena’s Path to Challenging Toni Storm
Athena, who also holds the ROH Women’s World Championship, earned her chance to face Toni Storm by triumphing in the Women’s Casino Gauntlet match at All In 2025. Known as the War Goddess, Athena has officially activated her contract and is set to put her skills against Storm’s formidable reign at the upcoming Forbidden Door 2025. Both competitors are highly respected in the wrestling world, and their meeting is expected to deliver a potentially match-of-the-year contender.
Inside Toni Storm’s Personal Life and Support System
Outside the ring, Toni Storm’s journey has been supported closely by her husband Juice Robinson, a three-time IWGP United States Heavyweight Champion. The couple began dating in 2020 and tied the knot two years later. Robinson has openly expressed admiration for his wife’s resilience and dedication to wrestling, describing her story as inspirational in a recent interview with Renee Paquette.
“Toni’s my best friend, and to see what she’s doing with wrestling is… it pumps me up. It pumps me up because I know who she is and what she’s been through to get to where she is. And it’s inspiring. In fact, there was times maybe when she was down where I would be like, ‘Hey, hey, hey.’ And now look at her, and she’s going, ‘Hey, hey, hey.’” —Juice Robinson, IWGP United States Heavyweight Champion
Despite his accomplishments, Juice Robinson has yet to capture a title in AEW. As Toni Storm continues to defend her championship, there is hope that Robinson’s fortunes in AEW will improve alongside her rising momentum.
