New WWE NXT Superstar Toni Storm recently discussed being off of WWE programming for the past 6 months. Storm has been stuck in the UK with the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic and has only just recently resurfaced on television.
The former NXT UK Women’s Champion made the following comments on a recent NXT promo:
“This is the place that I knew I could come to and focus, and escape, be alone. It would be the last place anyone would find me. So, what am I doing now? I am preparing. This is the longest time I’ve been off in ten years. I’ve been doing this since I was 12.”
“Two years ago i was on top of the world. I won the Mae Young Classic, I beat Io Shirai at Evolution, I then went on to become NXT UK Women’s Champion. All those accomplishments and then look at now. When was the last time you’ve heard of me? I promise that was on purpose, this is calculated. To start again I need to evolve, new opponents. I need a change of scenery and this Toni Storm is like nothing you’ve ever seen before.”
