Toni Storm wins interim Women’s World title at AEW All Out
Toni Storm is the new interim AEW Women’s World Champion.
Storm defeated Britt Baker, Hikaru Shida, and Jamie Hayter in a four-way at Sunday’s All Out pay-per-view, claiming her first title in AEW.
Storm pinned Hayter in the contest, leaving open the possibility of future interim title matches against Shida and Baker. Baker and Storm have split their two singles meetings in AEW 1-1.
The four-way to crown a new champion was announced following a back injury suffered by current AEW Women’s World Champion Thunder Rosa. The original match for All Out was announced as Rosa defending against Storm in a singles bout.
Storm made her AEW debut in March of this year after quitting WWE last December. In June at the Forbidden Door pay-per-view, Rosa successfully defended the AEW Women’s World title against Storm. The two have since frequently tagged as ThunderStorm.
Rosa announced that she would be unable to defend her title in a promo on Dynamite on August 24. She will be out of action for an unspecified length of time with the injury, reportedly “a few months.”
