Tony Khan Quells Speculation Around Toni Storm's Pro Wrestling 'Retirement'

Earlier this week, 'Timeless' Toni Storm announced her retirement from professional wrestling. However, given the tone and suddenness of the announcement, fans are pretty sure it is not an official retirement and that Storm will be back in AEW soon.

AEW owner Tony Khan is hopeful of this, too, providing an update on the former AEW World Women's Champion's status during the media call for Full Gear.

"Timeless Toni Storm has been a great world champion for AEW. I think reports of her demise have been greatly exaggerated. I still expect Toni Storm will have a great wrestling career, but she's really struggling, clearly, with what's happened. She lost the world title, she lost her protégé. I think she feels like she lost everything and now she's lost. I hope Toni Storm can find herself and come back to us in AEW because Timeless Toni Storm is a great part of AEW," Khan said.

The 29-year-old hasn't wrestled for AEW since losing her title to Mariah May at All In on August 25. She has since wrestled a handful of matches for Stardom and CMLL.
