Tony Khan has provided an update on Toni Storm.
On Wednesday, Storm claimed that she was retiring from professional wrestling for good after a series of losses.
The former AEW Women’s World Champion said, “I’ve failed at everything. I lost in AEW, I lost in Japan, I lost in Mexico. This is the last you’ll hear from me again.”
During Thursday’s media call to promote Saturday’s AEW Full Gear 2024 pay-per-view event, the AEW President provided an update on Storm. He said,
“Timeless Toni Storm has been a great world champion for AEW. I think reports of her demise have been greatly exaggerated. I still expect Toni Storm will have a great wrestling career, but she’s really struggling, clearly, with what’s happened. She lost the world title, she lost her protege. I think she feels like she lost everything and now she’s lost.”
He continued, “I hope Toni Storm can find herself and come back to us in AEW because Timeless Toni Storm is a great part of AEW.”
Additionally, TNA Wrestling has announced the details for their annual Holiday Toy & Food Drive. The event will be taking place in Atlanta, GA on December 13th and 14th.

TNA Wrestling Annual Holiday Toy Drive and Food Drive Helps Needy in Atlanta Back-to-back Nights of Action-Packed Pro Wrestling At Center Stage, December 13-14
In conjunction with the final TNA Wrestling shows of 2024, the company today confirmed plans for its annual Holiday Toy & Food Drive, set for December 13-14 at the Final Resolution live event on Friday night and the iMPACT! TV Taping on Saturday night, both held at Center Stage.
All fans are encouraged to bring a new, unwrapped toy as TNA partners with the U.S. Marine Corps Reserve Toys for Tots Program, which distributes toys to economically disadvantaged children at Christmas. The Marine Toys for Tots Foundation is a 501(c)(3) not-for-profit charity created in 1991.
Popular toy categories include sporting equipment, books, backpacks, board games, radio control cars/trucks, hand-held electronics and skateboards/helmets.
In addition, TNA is partnering with Zaban Paradies Center in Atlanta that works to empower couples, families and individuals facing homelessness to reach self-sufficiency. Fans are asked to donate non-perishable food items and/or toiletries, such as shampoo, soap, deodorant, toothpaste, toothbrushes, razors and more.
Former TNA World Champion Steve Maclin is the honorary ambassador for TNA’s 2024 Toy & Food Drive. All fans who donate will have a chance to win a one-of-a-kind, limited-edition Maclin photo that will be autographed. Maclin has a deep interest in supporting Toys For Tots as he served as a Machine Gunner/0331 Infantry with the Second Battalion 8th Marines Weapons Company, completing two tours of Afghanistan.
