Toni Storm is expected to be sidelined for an extended period following an undisclosed injury, according to Bryan Alvarez of wonf4w. Alvarez confirmed that Storm’s absence from Wednesday’s AEW Dynamite was the result of a legitimate injury rather than a storyline development. Mina Shirakawa filled in for Storm and defeated Marina Shafir in the No Holds Barred match that had originally been scheduled for Storm. Storm last competed at AEW Revolution. Prior to Wednesday’s Dynamite, AEW posted a clip showing Storm bloodied in her locker room with Shirakawa and Luther attending to her. The clip was used to explain her absence, with AEW announcing she had not been medically cleared to compete. The extent of Storm’s injuries and her return timeline are currently unknown. We wish her a speedy recovery. #ToniStorm #AEW #AEWDynamite
