In a recent discussion, WWE Hall of Famer and Busted Open Radio co-host Bully Ray expressed concern over AEW's current trajectory, citing a rough patch attributed to the ongoing Death Riders storyline. However, he highlighted a shining light in AEW’s narrative landscape: the dynamic between Mariah May and Toni Storm. Bully praised the captivating storytelling that has unfolded, particularly the revelation of Timeless Toni Storm's clever ruse to deceive May over the past two months. This engaging twist was first unveiled on AEW Collision and further explored on AEW Dynamite, intending to pull viewers towards the Saturday night show. Last week's episode featured May delivering a robust promo about Storm, showcasing her growth on the microphone—an encouraging sign for her future in the ring. Despite admiration for their ongoing storyline, Bully voiced disappointment that Toni Storm did not make a live appearance on Dynamite to confront May directly. He emphasized the need for Toni to be showcased prominently as her story represents the pinnacle narrative in the company. With their anticipated match looming for the AEW Women’s World Championship at AEW Grand Slam Australia on February 15, there remain opportunities for AEW to further amplify this storyline in the upcoming episodes.
