Yesterday Toni Storm took over the official NXT Instagram account for a day, and it was announced that Storm was taking over the account as part of Pride Month.
Storm noted that when the announcement was made that she would be taking over the NXT Instagram for a day for Pride Month she was asked if she’s an ally, or if she’s a member of the community. Toni Storm responded by saying “a little bit of both” then followed up by noting she’s “not exactly straight.” The former NXT UK Women’s Champion then confirmed she’s bisexual, and added that she’s been comfortable with it for a long time, but never found the right time to express it.
A member of the community and an ally. Thank you for sharing this with us, Toni Storm. We couldn’t be more proud. #Pride #PrideMonth #WeAreNXT
