The main moment came after the game. The action spilled to ringside, knocking Storm, who had been on commentary, from her chair. She wrapped up her hand, rushed into the ring, and went straight for Bayne because she was not one to back down. Storm seized the microphone and declared it official, the audience ablaze. She looked directly at Bayne and said, "My God, you're a big b*tch!" before renouncing the challenge for AEW Dynasty 2025.
Toni Storm retained her title against Mariah May
If the bout get finalized, it will mark Bayne's first AEW PPV participation. Since joining the team in January, she has only worked on Dynamite and Collision episodes, defeating players like Thunder Rosa and Statlander in recent weeks. Toni Storm, meantime, just resolved her conflict with Mariah May. She kept her championship at AEW Revolution after defeating May in the Hollywood Ending match.
On April 6, 2025, the second annual Dynasty event will be hosted at the Liacouras Center in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. This will be AEW's first pay-per-view event in Pennsylvania. AEW's largest event of the spring will have even more firepower because of the matchup between Storm and Bayne, which already has a packed deck.
