“Timeless” Toni Storm Makes Surprise Return & Storm Reveals She Had Been Faking Having Amnesia The Whole Time

Saturday’s AEW Collision Homecoming 2025 show also featured Toni Storm’s “Timeless” character making it surprise return and Storm revealing she had been faking having amnesia the whole time.

During the show, AEW Women’s World Champion “The Glamour” Mariah May and Toni Storm came out to the ring for their face-to-face interview segment with Tony Schiavone.

May gave some disparaging words to Storm talking about how when she looks at Storm she sees nothing and when she thinks of her, she feels nothing. May continued calling Storm a “joke, a meme and they laugh at her and they forget about her just like she knew they would.” May then talked about how Storm was the easiest pawn to dominate this game and if she has to do it again, she will do it again in her hometown in Australia.

Storm responded stating that she is her biggest fan and praised all she has done in the UK, Japan, and AEW. Storm stated that May is an inspiration and one day she wants to be just like her. Storm then gave a hug to May and caressed her head on May’s bosom. This led to May giving an upset reaction and proceeded to attack her as AEW officials ran out to try to break it up. Afterwards May proceeded to leave the ring but before she could walk to the back, Storm responded on the microphone.

Storm then proceeded to talk and act like her “Timeless” persona and asked May “what makes you think she has forgotten and what makes you think their dance is done.” Storm then continued with her act stating that she will remember all the blood forever and the best roll you play is yourself and the performance of a life-time. Storm then proceeded to angrily yell at May and threatening to do a lot of bad stuff to her while she undressed down to her bra and underwear in the ring as the crowd gave a roaring ovation. This led to May giving a shocked and worried look as Storm stared her down from the ring.
