Toni Storm Pulled From AEW Dynamite After Backstage Attack as Mina Shirakawa Defeats Marina Shafir

Reporting points to a long injury layoff pending official word.

Overview

  • AEW and backstage reporter Renee Paquette said Toni Storm was found unconscious before a scheduled No Holds Barred rematch with Marina Shafir in Fresno.
  • Mina Shirakawa was announced as Storm’s replacement on Dynamite and won after smashing a glass bottle over Shafir’s head and hitting a Storm Zero piledriver.
  • Ringside accounts noted a dangerous backdrop suplex that dropped Shirakawa on her head and narrowly missed a table.
  • Cageside Seats relayed Bryan Alvarez’s report that Storm is “out for a long time,” a claim not confirmed by AEW.
  • Speculation linking the incident to outside names such as Shayna Baszler remains unverified by current reporting.
