No WWE vs. AEW for Stardom.
On Tuesday night, Stardom announced on their social media that an upcoming bout between NXT UK Champion Toni Storm and AEW signee Bea Priestley had been pulled from their May 16 event. The reason given was "circumstances beyond our control."
For the upcoming Korakuen Hall show on May 16, the previously announced match between Toni Storm and Bea Priestley will not take place due to circumstances beyond our control. Thank you for undestanding.

It was reported in late 2018 that NXT UK talent had restrictions in their contracts that precluded them from wrestling talent signed to major organizations. It has not been confirmed that this is the reason as to why the match between Storm and Priestley is not happening.
