There, the team gave fans a sneak peak into what’s to come with AEW, revealing the first AEW star joining the brand’s popular “Big Rubber Guys” action figure line: former AEW Women’s World Champion, Toni Storm.
Big Rubber Guys serves as MAJOR’s ode to the iconic rubber wrestling toys of the ‘80s— bold, and built to be played with or proudly displayed.
