Toni Storm and Mina Shirakawa

Toni Storm is set to make her return to STARDOM after five years, teaming with Mina Shirakawa to face Mayu Iwatani and AZM at Korakuen Hall on September 28. This marks a significant moment for Storm, who has not been seen in AEW since losing her title to Mariah May at All In. Following this match, Storm will challenge Iwatani for the IWGP Women's Championship on October 5, a highly anticipated bout. The collaboration between AEW and NJPW, which includes STARDOM, continues to grow as Storm's participation strengthens these ties. Additionally, Shirakawa's involvement in this storyline is linked to May's recent call for her return to AEW programming. Fans are eager to see how these developments will unfold in the coming weeks.
