"I had been looking forward to this match for a long time—perhaps five years or more. A significant reason I joined AEW was to wrestle Toni Storm. She has transformed into an incredible character and a true star. When the match took place at AEW All In, everything felt just right—the build-up, the energy, and the entrance were all perfect," Mone stated.
Following her victory over Mone, Storm celebrated over 150 days as the AEW Women’s World Champion, a reign that began in February.
