Tony Schiavone talks about playing it straight as Toni Storm laid across the announce table eating a clementine on the October 28 AEW Collision.
The October 28 AEW Collision saw Hikaru Shida defend the AEW Women's World Championship against Abadon in a No DQ match. While Shida was busy smashing pumpkins, "Timeless" Toni Storm was chowing down on a clementine.
The origin of Storm's fondness of clementines stems from one of her silent movies, "Hold That Butler," the (non) award-winning picture that introduced her new Butler: Lutha, formerly the Japanese Death Match Legend, Dr. Luther.

On Collision, Storm enjoyed the fruit while comfortably laid across the announce table, even taking another one out of her skirt and giving it to Tony Schiavone.
On the latest episode of the What Happened When podcast, Schiavone reflected on the moment and having to keep a straight face while Toni's butt was in his face and she aggressively ate the fruit, which Tony referred to as an orange.
"Well, I knew that Toni was going to do something on the table. I thought she was going to sit on the table, but she yanked the top off, stared at me, and then just laid right on the table with her rear end right in my face," he recalled. "So, now I've got a girl's rear end in my face and I've got to play it straight. Then, she had two oranges, right? She flipped me one, if I recall, or handed me one, I ended up with one. Then, she bit the other orange, and she bit real hard into it, and boom. Orange juice squirted in my face."
Schiavone joked that he did not keep the fruit in an attempt to sell it on eBay. Rather, he tossed it over to Dasha Gonzalez, Collision's ring announcer while the show was on a commercial break.
As it stands, "Timeless" Toni and her new Butler are headed to AEW Full Gear on November 18, where she will attempt to regain the AEW Women's World Championship. Fans can check out the full card here.
Who she will face at the event remains up in the air, however. Due to Hikaru Shida's desire to be a fighting champion, she will be defending her title against Willow Nightingale on the November 1st episode of AEW Dynamite. Learn more here.
