Toni Storm just pulled off the performance of a lifetime—and now, the act is over.

During a face-to-face showdown with Mariah May on AEW Collision: Homecoming, Storm played up her “rookie” persona, wide-eyed and naive. But the moment May attacked her and smashed her with the AEW Women’s World Championship belt, the truth came out—she had been acting the whole time.

After taking the brutal beatdown, Storm dropped the innocent act and coldly declared, “I’ve never forgotten anything… I am Timeless Toni Storm again.” The look on May’s face said it all—she knew she had just unleashed something dangerous.

Storm had been off AEW TV since losing her championship to May at AEW All In. When she resurfaced at Dynamite: Winter is Coming, she played up her “rookie” character, pretending to be clueless about her past. But in reality, she was just biding her time for the perfect moment to remind May exactly who she was.

Now, with the mind games over, Storm and May are set to collide at AEW Grand Slam—and this time, the Timeless One isn’t holding back.
