Toni Storm has been in the news for the last few weeks due to her abruptly announcing her retirement. The entire wrestling community was taken by surprise at the announcement.
As the wrestling world is still reeling from the revelation, she has taken to Instagram to update her fans on her whereabouts. Her last appearance in a wrestling capacity will be taking place at WrestleCade Weekend 2024. She wrote:
“My last appearance anywhere. Please stop by for a final farewell before I move on to open my new curry shop. I am a fantastic cook. @highspots.”
While this gives us an insight into what she might want to do after wrestling, this is all just a part of an elaborate storyline. It will be interesting to see how this story will take shape in the coming weeks and months.
Toni Storm reveals reason for retirement
Toni Storm is an eccentric character and always does a great job portraying her persona as the Timeless One in AEW. Despite how over she is with the fans, she has been on the end of a losing streak of late.
In a recent interview with SBNation, the former AEW Women’s Champion revealed the reasons for her abrupt retirement. She said:
“I’m not used to being a loser. I’ve failed at everything. I lost in AEW, I lost in Japan, I lost in Mexico. This is the last you’ll hear from me again. Enjoy Mariah May as your champion. You can all enjoy that. AEW is just fine without me. Everything is going well for AEW. They don’t need Toni Storm.”
To some fans, that might seem like a goodbye, while to others, it might seem like she is staging a plan to come back and get her revenge on Mariah May.
