Toni Storm AEW status and return storyline
Overview
Following an attack in her dressing room in March 2026, former AEW Women’s World Champion Toni Storm has been absent from programming. AEW CEO Tony Khan confirmed that while Storm is missed, she is expected to return to the promotion to seek retribution against her attacker.
Recent developments during the WrestleDream event included the distribution of mysterious cassette tapes, such as one labeled ‘Toni Storm Tapes’, intended to signal the start of her comeback storyline. However, despite these teases, reports indicate her in-ring return is not imminent. While she may appear in non-wrestling storyline elements, she is not expected to wrestle again until late 2026 at the earliest.
