AEW commentator Tony Schiavone had high praise for current AEW Women’s World Champion Toni Storm and recent signee Mercedes Moné, as well as AEW President Tony Khan’s creative direction for Storm’s character.
Speaking on “What Happened When,” Schiavone discussed Storm’s recent promo work.
“She’s redefined women’s wrestling for AEW…We are very fortunate to have two professionals… Toni Storm, Mercedes Moné, just so great to work with both of them.” He added, “I had not worked with Mercedes at all, and I didn’t know what to expect, because I knew she was Sasha Banks, but, man, I just absolutely love her. And Toni Storm is just so, so entertaining.”
Schiavone specifically credited Tony Khan for Storm’s successful character: “Tony Khan is going to be very, very proud of… this character that he came up with, and it’s… just doing gangbusters business… And not only that great character that he developed, but Toni Storm has bought into it, as they say, fully. You gotta have to be [the right] person to be able to do it, and she’s the person.”
