Toni Storm's Potential AEW Return Update

Toni Storm, a former AEW Women's World Champion, is rumored to be making a return to the promotion, as indicated by a recent report.

Storm has been absent from action since March and was speculated to return at the WrestleDream pay-per-view, but that did not occur. According to Fightful Select, AEW sources have stated that while her in-ring return is not imminent, the promotion may involve her in other capacities. Storm has not appeared on recent AEW shows.

Initially, AEW had plans for Storm for the remainder of 2026, but she was written off television following an attack by an unidentified assailant. The promotion has reportedly decided on a name for the attacker, with the storyline suggesting multiple potential suspects. Earlier reports indicated that her absence was not due to injury, and speculation about the attacker includes names like Mercedes Mone and Thekla, as suggested by AEW's Tony Schiavone and Storm's personal butler, Luther.
