Toni Storm has transformed herself over the years, going for a rebellious rocker to becoming "Timeless."
Toni has taken on many roles on wrestling television, and took on the role of Clara Mortenson in "Queen of the Ring."
Speaking to Tim & Eli on Battleground, Tony Khan was asked about Toni's involvement in "Queen of the Ring" and if they reached out to AEW.
“Yes. I talked to Ash [Avildsen] at the beginning, when he was working on this movie. He asked me about casting Toni Storm, and Toni Storm is the greatest actress in Hollywood, so I was very supportive of it. Of course, we have other people in AEW involved in the project, but Toni Storm is the AEW Women’s World Champion. She’s the person I think of when I think of Hollywood and when I think of pro wrestling, and it fit like a glove. So I talked to Ash for about an hour on the phone when he was first working on the movie. Before he cast Toni in the movie, he reached out to me about it, and I worked around the schedule. Toni needed to take a little time off for filming, and this was a long time ago, and it all worked out just absolutely fantastic. We’re very proud of Toni and her work, and everybody associated with ‘Queen of the Ring’ has done a great job, and they’ve been a great sponsor for us, and Toni’s a great champion and a great actress," he said.
Storm is the reigning AEW Women's World Champion.
