WWE Smackdown star Toni Storm was released today. She was on the road for the company as recently as last night in Washington, DC, working Triple Threat matches with Charlotte Flair and Sasha Banks.
Fightful.com initially reported the release. PWInsider.com has independently confirmed Storm's departure.
The story making the rounds is that Storm requested and received a release. The word among talents is that Storm flew herself home this morning from Baltimore. WWE's internal announcement did not state Storm was released due to budget cuts.
PWInsider.com is told last night's Triple Threat match went down as scheduled, so it does not appear this was not a case of something happening inside the ring that triggered the departure. Storm had recently been programmed with Flair on TV but that program obviously, is done.
Storm, 26, debuted with the company as part of the Mae Young Classic in 2017 and was called up to the main roster this past July.

Good for her, now she can go somewhere that won't make her look stupid
AEW can really use her, just don't book her like they do all the other new people. Win a title shot first night and lose the title match

Attitude Still on “Fuck It”
in a company that desperately need new stars, the number of potential stars wwe released this year has been mind boggling
Women tired of getting jobbed out to Chuck, soon the same will be said about big time becks. Liv Morgan should be in the office asking for her release after this weak ppv coming up
