5. New Champ & Spin-Off Story

AEW All Out 2022 Toni Storm

Toni Storm had to win this, didn't she? Her All Elite career has been tail spinning since it started, but she finally has that banner moment to give a sense of purpose to her standing on a crowded roster. At All Out, one could almost see just how much this show of faith meant to Toni.

The four-way to crown a new interim Women's Champ (who knows when Thunder Rosa will return) had another purpose: Britt Baker snuffed out Jamie Hayter's chances of winning the thing, and that'll lead to a spin-off feud between them. It should also see Hayter breakout as a babyface, which will be fun.

Fans getting right behind Jamie is a promising sign for her too. AEW's decision makers would've noticed that from behind the curtain, and they'll be pleased by the early swell of support for what could be a top non-title female rivalry.

No complaints with any of this.
