It's also one Toni Storm will want to watch back.

Picture the smile crossing Toni's face on Monday morning. When she woke up, it must have taken a minute or two to sink in that she'd just won the second Mae Young Classic tournament on the first all-women's pay-per-view in WWE history and been greeted by both Stephanie McMahon and Triple H. Nights don't come much better than that.

This was a coming of age moment for the 23-year old Kiwi. She can look forward to one hell of a 2019 now she's won the MYC. There's no way Storm can fail, and she seems destined to become one of NXT/NXT UK's next big things; history is also on her side. Just look at how well previous MYC finalists Kairi Sane and Shayna Baszler have fared since.

Evolution was a defining evening for Storm, and it's one that she'll never forget. WWE are clearly high on her, her in-ring work is watertight and Toni now has a platform on which to build. If she can match those stunning facial expressions with some more characterisation, she'll soar.
