Toni Storm Beats Mariah May to Retain AEW Women's Title at 2025 Revolution

Toni Storm defeated Mariah May in a Falls Count Anywhere match at Revolution on Sunday to retain the AEW Women's World Championship.

It was a bloody affair with both women getting busted open after using all kinds of weaponry, but Storm took down her rival with a piledriver through a table on the entrance stage.

Storm and May have been at odds ever since July when May won the Owen Hart Foundation Tournament to become No. 1 contender for the AEW women's world title.

While May had been Storm's understudy for months before that, she used her victory as an opportunity to turn on her friend, as she attacked Storm and left her a bloody mess.

Going by the name "The Glamour" Mariah May, she challenged Storm for the AEW women's title at All In, which was held in her hometown of London, England. May was victorious in front of the home crowd, becoming AEW women's world champion for the first time in the process.

After the loss to May, Storm took a four-month hiatus. She resurfaced in December, but she had ditched her "Timeless" gimmick and instead went back to the look and character she portrayed when she first signed with AEW.

For quite some time, Storm acted as though she was an inexperienced wrestler who was in AEW for the first time, leading to speculation that the trauma her character had experienced at the hands of May had given her amnesia or something similar.

Storm went on to win a Casino Gauntlet match on the Maximum Carnage edition of Dynamite in January, making her the No. 1 contender for the AEW Women's World Championship.

It was at that point that Storm revealed she had been acting all along, as she returned to her "Timeless" persona, much to the shock and chagrin of May.

Storm would challenge and beat May for the AEW women's world title at Grand Slam Australia last month, making her the first four-time women's champ in AEW history.

May refused to go quietly, as she attacked Storm days after her loss, setting the stage for a rematch at Revolution.

Despite May's motivation to recapture the title, Storm prevailed and perhaps ended her rivalry with May in the process.
