Tony Khan Thinks Timeless Toni Storm Is One of the More High-Brow Characters in Wrestling

– During the post-show media scrum for AEW Worlds End, AEW President and CEO Tony Khan had nothing but glowing praise for the work of AEW Women’s World Champion Timeless Toni Storm. During last night’s show, Storm successfully retained her title against former AEW Women’s World Champion Riho. Below are some highlights (via WrestlingInc.com):

Tony Khan on Toni Storm: “[I’m] really very proud of ‘Timeless’ Toni Storm, and as I said, to have somebody that has become a great champion and is a great wrestler, but has also quickly become one of my personal favorite characters on television. It’s a true statistic that AEW fans have very desirable demographics in terms of being above the median TV viewer, in terms of income, and often various demographics that are desirable to advertisers.”

On Storm’s “Timeless” character: “So I think that, when you have one of the more high-brow characters in wrestling and you have something as unique as TCM’s (Turner Classic Movies) Ben Mankiewicz coming in and doing his production and giving it such a great effort and making it a tremendous opening for Timeless Toni Storm, that’s a great sign, in my opinion, that TCM signs off and gives it their signature of approval, with TCM being so prestigious.”

AEW Worlds End was held last night at the Nassau Veterans Memorial Coliseum in Uniondale, New York. The event was broadcast live on pay-per-view.
