Toni Storm, a New Zealand-Australian professional wrestler signed to All Elite Wrestling, recently made headlines with her conflict with Megan Bayne, a recent AEW signee.
After successfully defending her championship against Mariah May at AEW Revolution 2026, Toni Storm, the AEW Women’s Champion, now faces a new challenge in Megan Bayne.
During the March 19 episode of AEW Dynamite, Bayne defeated Kris Statlander in a physical match and, at one point, threw Statlander into Storm, who was seated at ringside.
Megan Bayne vs Kris Statlander was a straight up banger that was all thriller, no filler hoss fight in every way.
Post match w/Timeless Toni Storm & Bayne was a good way to intensify for that rivalry.
Toni w/another great promo was a cherry on top of all this.

Moreover, this action led to a chaotic post-match brawl between Storm and Bayne, forcing security to intervene and separate the two competitors.
Following the ongoing conflict between the two, Toni Storm officially challenged the new AEW signee Megan Bayne to a championship match at the upcoming AEW Dynasty episode.
After their recent heated moment, AEW fans eagerly anticipate the match between Storm and Bayne.
As Toni Storm frequently makes headlines for her professional journey, little information about her personal life is available, leaving netizens curious about her ethnicity and family background.
Toni Storm, born Toni Rossall on October 19, 1995, in Auckland, New Zealand, is possibly of New Zealand European ethnicity.
However, she has not shared any details about her family background or ethnicity.
Toni Storm and her younger sister were raised by their single mother, Wendy Rossall
Although Toni Storm was born in New Zealand, her mother, Wendy, and younger sister, Chrissy, moved to the Gold Coast in Australia after her parent’s divorce.
When Toni was just four years old, her parents separated.
Although she hasn’t shared any information about her biological father, she often talks about her mother, Wendy, and credits her for her success.
At the age of 10, while living on the Gold Coast, Toni developed her passion for professional wrestling while discovering WWE on television.
Although her mother initially didn’t want her daughter to begin her career in wrestling, seeing her determination and love for the sport, she helped Toni pursue her dreams.
Wendy Rossall sold hot dogs at wrestling shows to fund her daughter’s training and help her achieve her wrestling dreams.
In an interview with , Toni mentioned that her mother, Wendy, attended each wrestling match and helped sell hotdogs and drinks. In return, they agreed to train Toni for free.
Moreover, her mother’s struggle and support didn’t go in vain; Toni soon built her career in wrestling at the age of just 13 by joining a wrestling company based on the Gold Coast.
She is now one of the renowned women wrestlers, having won several honorable titles, including the AAW Women’s World Championship four times, the BEW Women’s Championship, the Women’s Wrestler of the Year, and many more.
In March 2019, Toni Storm shared a beautiful post on her Instagram to express appreciation for her mother, Wendy’s, support.
The post reads:
“when I was 13, I begged my mum to let me start training, but we couldn’t afford the fees, so she would sell hotdogs at every single show so I could wrestle. Then she would make all my costumes, drive me to every single training session and show all whilst raising another young child all on her own, she constantly went without just to put a smile on my face. Wrestling was all I liked so she went out of her way to make sure I was doing it. I’ve never met anyone else as strong as my mum.”
Despite being the mother of a renowned wrestler, Wendy Rossall maintains a low profile, and very little information about her current personal and professional life is available.
