The escalating Toni Storm rivalry with Mercedes Mone continues to draw attention as both stars clash in AEW, with recent confrontations intensifying ahead of a scheduled showdown at All In. Mone’s relentless campaign against Storm has evolved, marked by aggressive exchanges on both Collision and Dynamite, setting the stage for major developments in the women’s division.
Hostilities Amplify After Double or Nothing
Mercedes Mone began raising the stakes immediately after capturing the women’s Owen Hart Cup at Double or Nothing, using mind games against Timeless Toni Storm that quickly turned personal. The rivalry’s tone shifted to outright hostility when Storm appeared on Collision, openly declaring her intention to “eat Mercedes Mone alive” as their conflict became increasingly bitter.
This combustible atmosphere led to a wild scene on Dynamite, where Mone launched a surprise attack on Storm during the show’s opening moments. The assault was halted only when Mina Shirakawa intervened, providing backup for Storm and adding another layer to the ongoing conflict.
Mone Sends a Stark Message Ahead of All In
Continuing the war of words, Mercedes Mone delivered a pointed backstage promo on Collision directed at Storm. Referencing Storm’s connection with wrestling fans, Mone’s comments included an explicit promise for their upcoming confrontation, stating,
“You’re right about one thing. You’re not just some motherf*cker. You’re the f*cker that is going to get f*cked over at All In.”

In closing her remarks, Mone asserted that this rivalry is part of her own narrative, foreshadowing dramatic events to come when they finally face off on a grand stage.
Upcoming Matches and Their Repercussions
The tension surrounding the Toni Storm rivalry with Mercedes Mone is further heightened by upcoming matches that could impact the women’s division landscape. The AEW TBS Championship will be on the line as Mone defends her title against Mina Shirakawa during Dynamite 300 on July 2, with this contest serving as a pivotal moment for all involved.
Elsewhere on that same event, Kazuchika Okada squares off against Kota Ibushi, with both seeking momentum ahead of future headline matches, including Okada’s anticipated bout against Kenny Omega at All In Texas.
Implications for AEW’s Women’s Division
The ongoing conflict between Mercedes Mone and Toni Storm has transformed from psychological maneuvering to open hostilities, attracting interest from AEW fans and insiders alike. Their upcoming All In confrontation is expected to have far-reaching consequences for both athletes and the broader storyline direction for AEW’s women’s roster.
As other stars such as Naomi, Rhea Ripley, and rising contenders like Shirakawa shape their own narratives within the wrestling world, the outcome of this headline rivalry could influence future championship scenes and personal feuds within the promotion.
