Toni Storm Receives Spectacular Introduction from Ben Mankiewicz and Faces a Formidable New Opponent

AEW’s X

AEW and Warner Bros Discovery promised an amazing piece of corporate synergy on the Dec. 6 Dynamite, enlisting Turner Classic Movies host Ben Mankiewicz to introduce Women’s World champion Timeless Toni Storm for her defense against Skye Blue.

It definitely lived up to the hype. Mankiewicz was a great sport, delivering up an intro worthy of a film great like Storm. My only note is that he should have said the “tits out” part of the Timeless One’s mantra, but I imagine that was where he drew the line.

After that, Storm and Blue delivered in the ring. Toni, along with her butler Lutha and biggest fan Mariah May, incorporated her gimmick into the match much better than in previous outings — including her title winning bout with Hikaru Shida at Full Gear.
