Toni Storm says she's ready to end the Interim title nonsense

[Chris]

The build toward a title unification match between AEW Women's Champion Thunder Rosa and interim champion Toni Storm has begun.

In an interview with Bleacher Report posted Monday, Storm brought up Rosa when asked what is next for her.

"I guess my first thing would be to beat Thunder Rosa and stop this interim nonsense. That's kind of what's been bothering me. I think that's been bothering a lot of people because she's still calling herself the AEW Women's world champion and I'm the one here every week doing the work," she said.

Storm won the interim title at September's All Out in a four-way after Rosa pulled herself off the card due to a severe back injury. Storm has defended the title three times since then and will look for a fourth Tuesday when she defends against former champion Hikaru Shida in a first time ever singles matchup.

Rosa has been out of action since August and initially had to defend herself from speculation that the injury was a work to get out of defending against Storm at All Out. She initially thought she would be out of action for "a few months" but it's unknown when her return is targeted for.

After winning the title, Storm said in the post-event press conference that the interim tag was "not ideal. But Thunder Rosa says she's injured. Okay. So when she says she's not injured, she can come back and lose to me, and that will be the end of that."

yeah its about time Rosa does the job

 

[Hidden Blaze]

Strap my girl for real dammit! Do the 3 second tan Rosa!!

Rosa gonna do what Dominick Cruz did to Renan Barao....have her clean out the division as interim champ and then come back when she loses.

 

[Roy Mustang]

Feels like a kayfabe answer like Mox's regarding Punk. But yeah as soon as Rosa is back she needs to do the job to Toni. Whilst I have a fair few issues with Toni's booking these last few weeks, it has been better than Rosa's booking as champion and Toni has been better in matches too imo

 

[Canadian Dragon]

Absolutely is a kayfabe answer,i doubt toni is anything but nice irl

 

[Jay-Ashley]

As much as I like Rosa, though I can admit her reign has been bland, I believe it is time for Toni to have the actual belt. Then, give Toni a good run with the belt and then Hayter takes it from her way later down the road.

this is the way and why ive been telling ppl to RELAX on Jamie because "do you really want Jamie to beat and become interim champ?" the answer is no because that sucks lol

^^^ this. Like I hate it’s taking so long because that’s either a shorter Toni reign, or longer til Jamie gets it next. Like I want Toni’s actual reign to be like 5-6 months at least. Then Jamie got next

If only Dana White woulda scrapped the interim concept years ago before Tony created AEW when me as a professional wrestling fan thought it was stupid

 

[John McHenry]

Interim titles make no sense. Oh so and so is good but not good enough.

I think it's one of those things that at this point is a great concept on paper but has generally sucked in practice, yes

 

[Hidden Blaze]

I liked the Interim champ thing.

When it wasn’t prolonging someone I like actually being champion

The asterisks of a champion never losing is not as bad as the asterisks of a year long interim title run "not counting" IMO

Typical....stuff only works until it affects me
