Following the 2024 AEW Dynasty PPV event, women’s champion Toni Storm had some words for Nikki Garcia, formerly known as Nikki Bella, who had expressed interest in joining AEW.
“How long do I have to keep doing this? Week after week, night after night, before you realize that I am the one who is reshaping this business. Just because I don’t flaunt it every time doesn’t make it any less true.
Do I really need to spell it out for you every single night? Are you that oblivious? Too busy chasing after people talking about goosebumps, levels, storytelling, and cinema. Go watch a movie.
Nikki Garcia thought about coming to AEW after seeing Mercedes did. But you know why she didn’t? Because then she saw me and realized she can’t even come close to what I bring to the table.
I am the one propelling this company to new heights, effortlessly. I’m just being myself, and it’s the most magnificent thing I could ever be. It’s something extraordinary that could happen to you too.
For all of you who saw me years ago and thought, ‘She’s got potential,’ you had no clue it was going to be this phenomenal, did you? Tomorrow morning, your headlines should scream, ‘I was completely wrong.’
Antony [Tony Khan], no matter how many matches I win, no matter how many stories I conclude, I won’t be calling you into the ring to celebrate with me.
Being Timeless means I’m not confined by your timeline. My success is entirely my own, and you’re damn fortunate to witness it.”
