* ThePrimaDonna: Became one after losing the Women's World Champion title to Wrestling/HikaruShida on the 200th episode of ''Dynamite'', regularly throwing temper tantrums and acting overdramatic during interviews as a result of being dethroned for a second time. By ''All In'' a month later, her gimmick had evolved into a Creator/MarilynMonroe-esque Hollywood starlet (with a few cues taken from [[Creator/GloriaSwanson Norma Desmond]] in Film/SunsetBoulevard) who, among other things, throws shoes at the backstage interviewers.

Bio cleanup + added info


She debuted on October 9, 2009 at her home country's Impact Pro Wrestling promotion while she was 13 years old, and five years later made the move to the UsefulNotes/UnitedKingdom to improve herself, though she performed across most of Europe. In 2015 she signed for Wrestling/{{PROGRESS Wrestling}} and became the first-ever women's champion after defeating Jinny and Laura Di Matteo in may 2017. She also performed on the Japanese joshi promotion Wrestling/WorldWonderRingSTARDOM. In addition, Storm is a 3x AEW Women's World Championship, 1x AAW Women's Championship, 1x BEW Women's Championship, 1x IPW Australia Women's Championship, 1x IPW Australian Cruiserweight Championship, 1x IPW Australian Hardcore Championship, 2x PWAQ Women's Championship, 1x PROGRESS Women's Championship, 2x wXw Women's Championship, 1x SWA World Championship and 1x World of Stardom Championship. She also won several tournaments and ranked in the 19th. place at the 2018 ''PWI Female 50'' in the category Female Singles Wrestlers.

Her story with the Wrestling/{{WWE}} began during the 2014 Australian tryouts of the company while it was touring on the country. She also took part in the 2015 WWE UK Tour. On June 2017 she was announced as one of the competitors for the inaugural edition of the ''[[Wrestling/WWEMaeYoungClassic Mae Young Classic]]'' tournament, where she eliminated Ayesha Raymond, Wrestling/LaceyEvans and Piper Niven before losing in the semifinals against eventual winner Kairi Sane. A year later, she was announced as a new signee for the company and became the #1 contender for the [[Wrestling/{{WWE NXT}} NXT]] Women's Championship defeating both Killer Kelly and Isla Dawn. In that same year, she became the winner of the second ''MYC'' tournament (defeating Wrestling/IoShirai at the highly-lauded ''WWE Evolution'' PPV) and in 2019 she became the second NXT UK Champion after defeating Rhea Ripley at ''NXT UK [=TakeOver=]: Blackpool''. Sadly, after her reign in NXT UK ended, she fell off the planet in terms of use on the main roster, and then after a brief period of intense misuse she asked for and was granted her release from WWE on December 29, 2021.

On the March 30, 2022 episode of ''Dynamite'', Storm made her debut for Wrestling/AllEliteWrestling. That September at ''All Out'', she claimed the interim AEW Women's World Championship, which had been vacated due to lineal champion Thunder Rosa being injured. Storm dropped the interim title to Jamie Hayter that November at ''Full Gear''. Several days later, Thunder Rosa vacated her claim to the title, and Storm's interim reign was {{retcon}}ned into an official reign. Storm defeated Hayter at ''Double or Nothing'' in May 2023 to reclaim the title. She then dropped the title to Wrestling/HikaruShida in August 2nd 2023 on the 200th episode of ''Dynamite''. In the weeks following this loss, Toni, having suffered a mental breakdown in losing her title, started calling herself "Timeless" Toni Storm, and started seeing her life as a motion picture, an homage to [[Film/SunsetBoulevard Norma Desmond]] complete with a butler.

** After losing her title and going full starlet, an accidental assault to Sweet Saraya as well some cheating by Saraya at Toni's expense at ''All In London'' drove a wedge between her and the Outcasts. This eventually culminated in Toni completely betraying them at ''All Out'', stopping Ruby from cheating in her match against Kris Statlander and officially leaving the faction.
