00:00Welcome back to AEW Dynamite, where a very high-stakes matchup is about to take place
00:07just days ahead of All In London coming up this Sunday.
00:13This match is set for one fall with a 60-minute time limit, and it is for the AEW Women's
00:20World Championship!
00:24Introducing first, just out of Stage 7 at Wooden Brothers Studios, she is the AEW Women's
00:31World Champion, Timeless Toni Storm!
00:36There you see at the bottom of your screen, it will be time for Toni Storm vs. The Glamour
00:40Mariah May this Sunday, but that could all change with this one match.
00:45It was this past Friday Night at Rampage, Soraya saying she is a former AEW Women's
00:50World Champion.
00:51She never got her rematch, and Timeless Toni Storm offering it, offering a match here
00:57tonight in Cardiff to her former Outkast running mate.
01:01Her opponent and challenger, being accompanied by Harley Cameron, Christian of Norwich, England,
01:08she is representing the Outkast, Soraya!
01:14I think it's super smart ex-galba for Soraya to gun after the AEW Women's World Champion
01:20Toni Storm just days before Wembley, because if anyone can defeat and capture that title
01:27right now on Dynamite, it's Soraya against Toni Storm.
01:31Yeah, Soraya has been in search of her Wembley moment for 2024.
01:36Last year, Soraya captured the AEW Women's World Championship at All In London, and this
01:42year, I mean, Wembley Stadium, Toni, is so meaningful for people not just in the UK,
01:47but all over Europe.
01:48It's the cathedral of football, but this Sunday at All In London, it will be the cathedral
01:53of professional wrestling.
01:54And we were so, so warmly received a year ago, and we're expecting another gigantic
02:00crowd at the iconic Wembley Stadium.
02:03Oh, the pop I got when I came out, I'll never forget it.
02:05Yes, it's amazing.
02:06You got one tonight, too.
02:07Well, Con, yeah.
02:08Yeah, you did.
02:09You get one everywhere, dude.
02:10So used to it, bro.
02:12That's cool with the dudes.
02:14Let's call a match, dude.
02:19I'll give you a flat tire.
02:20All right, here we go.
02:22Timeless Toni Storm, Soraya locking up.
02:24Nice arm drag there by the champion.
02:27Look at, she's so unorthodox, Toni Storm.
02:30I don't know what that stance is.
02:32I don't think she's ever done that little kind of thing.
02:36Well, you know, I did it again.
02:38Have you ever seen her do this?
02:39Oh, I've been hitting it too many times.
02:40You have been hitting it too many times.
02:41Oh, okay.
02:43I'm kind of glad to see her back to her old self in a way,
02:46because after what happened at the hands of Mariah May in Calgary,
02:50she kind of went undercover, so to speak.
02:53Roll up here, two, and Soraya breaks.
02:56Free kick to the midsection.
02:57But even before that, though, I mean, there was the, when Toni Storm
03:02was the AEW Women's World Champion for the second time,
03:05and she lost the title, she had a bit of a, almost a descent into,
03:08I don't want to say madness, but unorthodoxy.
03:11And now look at this.
03:13Toni Storm, some of that old world of sports style wrestling tricks,
03:19as now, she wants her to shoot the single leg,
03:22and now goes over the top, rolls her up,
03:24and now high stacks Soraya, able to break free.
03:27Now, Soraya, though, the cradle, two.
03:30Toni Storm able to break free.
03:31Got to be careful, though, Shivani playing games with that lady there,
03:34Soraya.
03:35She is so accomplished and so credible.
03:37Must be careful.
03:38And she's got quite a temper as well.
03:40Big time.

04:03Hold on.
04:04I'm sorry.
04:05There's a screaming match going on, but continue your selling.
04:08As well as Dave and Buster's locations nationwide
04:11as Soraya now using the knees.
04:14One, two, three, four.
04:17Oh, she dragged All in.
04:19Dragged All in Toni Storm right now.
04:21Uh-oh.
04:22Barley.
04:23Oh, Toni Storm.
04:24I think the side of her head clipped the top of that ringside railing.
04:28Watch out.
04:29That's Soraya.
04:30That cannonball just flattening.
04:33Timeless Toni Storm.
04:35Soraya with the match in hand.
04:37And don't go anywhere because we're going to stick with the action
04:39in picture-in-picture.
04:41I'll tell you, the folks from the Welsh,
04:44they don't like the folks from the Norwich, London region.
04:48Norwich is actually not that close to London.
04:52I feel like saying Philadelphia and Brooklyn are right next door.
04:54Don't ever say that again.
04:55Thank you, Dr. Geography.
04:57Don't ever say that again.
04:59Carmen Sandiego.
05:02Well, okay.
05:05Well, I mean, Soraya got booed like the dickens here.
05:08People hate her.
05:10I just wanted to point that out.
05:11Breaking the count.
05:12Smart right there.
05:14That is a great observation and one that Excalibur should have had.
05:17Well, I mean, I thought he would expand on it, but he's not.
05:20He knows everything, right?
05:22I mean, he wins an award every week to be an announcer.
05:24Oh, my.
05:25Oh, the ladies are right here.
05:26Be careful.
05:28Tony Storm going head first.
05:32I'm scared of you, my dear.
05:34You should be scared of her.
05:35She's crazy.
05:36Soraya with a boot on the throat of timeless Tony Storm.
05:42Now we've got this.
05:48We need this table all the time.
05:50It didn't break.
05:51It bends though.
05:52Oh, Sanjay wasn't out here.
05:55Oh, look at Harley Cameron.
05:57You're talking about someone that's delusional.
05:59Oh, no, insane.
06:00I mean, I saw her in a hotel yesterday, literally walking in a lobby,
06:04and I thought she was on her phone like an earbud.
06:06She was talking to herself.
06:07There's nobody around her.
06:08Very loudly, too.
06:09You saw it, right?
06:10Crazy.
06:11Crazy woman.
06:13Soraya applying pressure to timeless Tony Storm.
06:16Breaking her down in the corner.
06:18Again, boot on the throat.
06:21This match could be a trap for timeless Tony Storm.
06:25Maybe she'll fixate it on Mariah May, perhaps looking past Soraya.
06:32As you know, it's so difficult to look past someone like Soraya
06:38with her legacy and her background.
06:39You know what I mean?
06:40That's so hard.
06:41Tony Storm knows that.
06:42I know, but I think Tony Storm may just be blinded by the hatred of Mariah May,
06:48the woman that she claims she loved, that she brought to her bosom, so to speak.
06:53He said bosom.
06:54I'm going to drink it.
06:55I'm going to spit it.
06:56What do you say to the word bosom?
06:57You're a man, damn it.
06:59I say bosom.
07:00It sounds like my grandma.
07:02So I'd like to say here that fans, you can join us internationally for All In
07:07on Triller TV, YouTube, PBV.com, The Zone, Main Event, and Sky.
07:14So mark that down and join us this Sunday all over the world for All In.
07:21Referee Paul Turner giving the 10 count to champion and challenger alike.
07:26Tony Storm only now starting to rouse.
07:29See the pain that Storm is in.
07:33That headbutt was emphatic, but now Soraya,
07:37you see, still unsteady on her feet.
07:39Wow, they count in English here.
07:40That's impressive.
07:42The AEW Women's World Championship is on the line.
07:45Timeless Tony Storm looking to defend against former champion,
07:48former friend, Soraya.
07:50But Soraya was in the driver's seat just until a few moments ago
07:53when Tony Storm landed a well-placed headbutt.
07:56Oh, the DDT.
07:58Soraya ducked.
07:59Thought she was going to miss that right hook.
08:01She caught a DDT that hit its mark.
08:04I don't think we're surprised, but that's a hell of a competitive match, guys.
08:07Fisherman suplex and Soraya.
08:09Excellent bridge right there.
08:10Great job, Tony Storm.
08:12Excellent throw.
08:13Remember, Soraya, such pro wrestling is in her blood.
08:17Sure.
08:18She comes from a family of great professional wrestlers,
08:21but she's also a former AEW Women's World Champion,
08:24capturing the title last year at All in London and Wembley Stadium.
08:28Nice transition.
08:29The nightcap, the cover, two, and no!
08:32Tony Storm able to kick out.
08:34In front of her family last year, of course.
08:36Her mother, sweet Soraya, was there, and they all celebrated.
08:39The Knight family, very, very iconic in this country.
08:42Absolutely.
08:44And even Soraya, I think we mentioned this earlier,
08:46at age 13 started wrestling.
08:48You don't want to mess with that family, Shivani.
08:50You don't want to fight the Knight family.
08:52They're nasty people, dangerous.
08:54And Soraya in search of her Wembley moment this year.
08:56Will she have it?
08:58Will she go on to All in London to defend
09:00the AEW Women's World Championship against Mariah May
09:04if she lands something big out of the corner
09:06like that flipping powerbomb?
09:08That could be the case.
09:10Now Soraya.
09:12Oh, that's it!
09:14That's it!
09:16You might be right.
09:18No, the rope break!
09:20It was ring positioning that saved the title.
09:22Tremendous ring awareness by the three-time
09:25AEW Women's World Champion, Tony Storm.
09:27Absolutely.
09:29You guys nailed it.
09:31Ring awareness, knowing where she was in the ring.
09:33That's what you guys are talking about.
09:34And that's what Storm did.
09:36But I'll tell you what.
09:38That DDT was nasty, Shivani.
09:40Real nasty.
09:42And it takes things like that, ring positioning, awareness.
09:44It's all makeup of a great wrestler in any division.
09:47It is.
09:49Just knowing where you are, having that awareness
09:51at all times, even when you're hurting
09:53or you're sucking wind.
09:55It's tough.
09:57It's a lot tougher than it sounds.
09:59And remember, these women are former teammates.
10:01They know each other very well.
10:02And despite the fact that timeless Tony Storm
10:04has undergone this metamorphosis,
10:06you know, at heart, she's still the wrestler
10:08that Soraya knew she was.
10:10A sky high, and Soraya kicking out.
10:12Well, look at this now.
10:14Holly's up on the apron.
10:16Holly Cameron getting in the face
10:18of referee Paul Turner.
10:20Swing and a miss.
10:22And now, oh, Tony Storm!
10:24What the hell?
10:26I believe the lip lock is the technical term for that.
10:28Lip lock Jones.
10:30Soraya, a little friendly fire there, Tony Storm.
10:32The roll up, two and...
10:34Oh, my God.
10:36Very high stack.
10:38Good kick out by Soraya.
10:40The lip lock once again.
10:42Oh, here we go.
10:44Oh, Storm, zero!
10:46One, two, three!
10:48Great win.
10:50The winner of this match, and still
10:52AEW Women's World Champion,
10:54Timeless Tony Storm!
10:56That's a legitimate win right there
10:58over a very legitimate opponent.
10:59And that's excellent momentum
11:01going into Wembley for the champion here.
11:03Yeah, good call, Taz.
11:05Thinking the same thing myself.
11:07A big win that she needed, and she got.
11:09The path is clear for Timeless Tony Storm.
11:12She will meet her former protege,
11:15the glamour, Moriah May,
11:18this Sunday at All In London,
11:21live on pay-per-view.
11:24Tony Storm.
11:25Will have a chance at revenge.
11:27Oh, no!
11:29Where did Moriah May come from?
11:31The shoe to shoe to shoe
11:33in the hand of Moriah.
11:35The very shoe that bloodied
11:37Timeless Tony Storm,
11:39the proverbial dagger in the back.
11:41Now, perhaps, another shoe to the forehead
11:44ahead of Wembley this Sunday.
11:49This whole thing is a little bit
11:51confusing.
11:52This whole thing is a little bit
11:54warped and wacky.
11:56Well, Moriah being out of London,
11:58they're booing her here as well.
12:00I think Moriah May will get booed
12:02everywhere she goes
12:04for what she did
12:06to Timeless Tony Storm.
12:08But Tony Storm does not have to wait long.
12:10This Sunday,
12:12she will have a chance
12:14at revenge.
12:16But will Timeless Tony Storm be too blinded
12:18by revenge, by wanting
12:20to take out Moriah May
12:22to effectively defend
12:24her AEW Women's World Championship?
12:26We will find out
12:28at Wembley Stadium
12:30and all in London
12:32coming up this Sunday
12:34live on pay-per-view.
12:36But let's head to the back
12:38where once again our colleague,
12:40the remarkable Renee Paquette
12:42is standing by.
