The "Timeless" Toni Storm character is being presented on AEW television in a black-and-white format, who is one of the forgotten starlets from a bygone era of Hollywood. Putting away her previous rugged look and feel, the new version of the Australian female wrestler has become one of the most entertaining and money-making acts in modern professional wrestling.
After experiencing a failure in a career as part of the WWE, it was the character work, combined with her excellent in-ring skills, that has garnered praise from fans and critics toward Toni Storm over the past couple of years. Sitting at the top of the AEW women's division, the popular name is currently enjoying her fourth reign as the top women's champion of the company, as well.
