Backstage News On Why WWE Released Toni Storm

Fans have seen several waves of releases throughout 2021, and over 80 Superstars have parted ways with WWE. Former NXT UK Women’s Champion Toni Storm was recently added to the list as it’s been reported that Storm was released.

Sean Ross Sapp of Fightful is now reporting that it’s believed Toni Storm asked to be released. It was also noted that the memo WWE sent out regarding Storm’s release did not list budget cuts as the reason.

PWInsider is also reporting that Toni Storm requested to be released, and that the word going around is that she flew herself home from Baltimore this morning.

Toni Storm first joined WWE in 2017 as a competitor in the Mae Young Classic, and she went on to win the tournament in 2018. She then went on to work in NXT UK where she won the NXT UK Women’s Championship, and she also worked in NXT before she was called up to the main roster back in July.

Storm most recently wrestled at the December 28 WWE live event in Washington DC where she faced off against Sasha Banks and Charlotte Flair in a triple threat match for the SmackDown Women’s Championship. Stay tuned for more updates as they become available.
