Right now, Toni Storm is forever one of the most engaging, entertaining pieces of AEW television.

Since losing the AEW Women's Title to Hikaru Shida on Dynamite 200, Storm has descended into madness, pulling plenty from Disney villains and the paranoid ageing stars of classic Hollywood who question whether they still have 'it'. For Toni, she's taken particularly poorly to being questioned by Lexy Nair - or, y'know, the rude other interviewer from last week's Collision.

Obviously Toni gets extra props for once again launching a shoe at Lexy after the former Women's Champion had walked out on the interview.
