Toni Storm Explains Why She's Shut The Door On A Potential Return To WWE

“When I'm done wrestling, you'll never see me again. You’ll never see me in any other capacity, or in any other company for that matter. There's no encore. This is it ... What would I do? Because I'm on a long deal for AEW. I signed my life to AEW. I'm on a five-year deal and I can't remember how long—but I'm a lifer for AEW. There's no like, oh, well, I'll see what happens."Toni Storm (h/t WrestlePurists)

Storm continued and praised WWE, but said that company simply isn't the place for her.

"And that's no offense to them (WWE). I think they're great. And I understand them for exactly what they are. They're a machine. They're a business and I just don't fit in with their whole shtick. And that's cool. I love a lot of the people that work there. It’s like, yes, get that money. Get that power. But realistically, in my life, like, that's it. How long can I do this? I don't know. But I could do another 20 years with AEW.”Toni Storm (h/t WrestlePurist)

Toni Storm worked for WWE for four years until she requested her release late in 2021. In WWE, Storm was an NXT UK Champion and the winner of the 2018 WWE Mae Young Classic Tournament.
