3. Timeless Toni Time

Despite the aforementioned, painfully familiar issues with the positioning of the company's women on this week's Collision, 'Timeless' Toni Storm deserves an Up for just how darn entertaining she is.

This is nothing new, of course, and this character tweak for Toni has received praise plentiful times on Ups & Downs in recent weeks. But just everything about Storm right now is clicking in a major way.

The former AEW Women's Champion has long been great between the ropes, but now she has a stunning entrance, a magnificent demeanour, and only continues to add to her overall package by doing things like bringing out scripts, throwing to ad breaks, and making sure to pose before hitting her hip attack that's the beginning of the end for an opponent.

Not just is this the best ever iteration of Toni Storm, but it's a character who is one of the most engaging and entertaining figures in the entire industry.
