Mon Mar 10 11:00:00 UTC 2025: ## AEW Champion Toni Storm Channels Hollywood Glamour in New Biopic, Prepares for Final Showdown

**Los Angeles, CA** – All Elite Wrestling (AEW) Women’s World Champion “Timeless” Toni Storm is making waves both in the wrestling ring and on the silver screen. Currently starring as Clara Mortensen in the Mildred Burke biopic “Queen of the Ring,” now playing in theaters, Storm’s performance showcases her dedication to portraying a wrestling pioneer from the 1930s and 40s. The film’s release coincides with Storm’s upcoming high-stakes AEW Revolution match against her former protégé, Mariah May.

Storm, a lifelong wrestling fan, meticulously researched Mortensen’s in-ring style, incorporating old-school wrestling techniques into her portrayal. The role aligns perfectly with her own “timeless” persona in AEW, which draws inspiration from the vintage style and physicality of earlier female wrestlers. Her AEW storylines, co-written with RJ City, also reflect her love of classic Hollywood films and actresses like Bette Davis and Joan Crawford.

However, while drawing inspiration from the past, Storm’s on-screen persona is undeniably her own. She credits her humor and unique character to her own personality rather than imitation. This originality extends to her upcoming clash with May at AEW Revolution, a highly anticipated match that promises to be the final chapter in their tumultuous 18-month feud.

Storm describes May’s claim of feeling nothing for her as false, stating that May’s anger stems from unresolved feelings. Storm vehemently rejects any possibility of reconciliation, calling May a “slithery little snake” and vowing never to trust her again. To underscore her point, Storm recently wrestled a match on AEW Dynamite dressed as May, a psychological maneuver designed to unsettle her opponent before their pay-per-view showdown. She plans on delivering a decisive victory and is already looking forward to a well-deserved vacation once the feud is finally over.

With the May feud concluding, Storm anticipates facing new challengers for her AEW title, including Megan Bayne, Penelope Ford, and Julia Hart. The “Queen of the Ring” is in theaters now, and AEW Revolution streams live on March 9th at 4 p.m. PT on various platforms.
