Timeless Toni Storm successfully defended the AEW Womens World Championship against Mina Shirakawa at the AEW x NJPW Forbidden Door event.
The lead-up to the match and the storyline throughout the night revolved around Mariah May, who found herself torn between her affection for both competitors. Reflecting this internal conflict, Mariah wore ring gear reminiscent of Miss Elizabeth at WrestleMania 5, when she was caught between Hulk Hogan and Randy Savage, symbolizing her neutral stance.
Mariah managed to stay relatively uninvolved in the match. The bout itself was fast-paced and intense, showcasing both wrestlers skills. Ultimately, Toni Storm retained her championship by delivering her Storm Zero finisher to Mina Shirakawa, securing the victory.
While the record books will mark a win for Toni Storm, the true highlight came post-match. Mariah May was able to bridge the gap between Storm and Shirakawa, leading to an unexpected and heartfelt moment. The three women shared a handshake, followed by a hug and a three-way kiss, leaving the ring together in a display of unity and love.
