AEW President Tony Khan Rejects Toni Storm Character Pitches Citing Disgust

AEW Women’s World Champion Toni Storm revealed in a recent interview that many of her creative ideas for her "Timeless" character have been rejected by AEW President Tony Khan, who has expressed being "horrified and disgusted" by some of the concepts. Despite her attempts to push boundaries with her character's explicit sexual and provocative themes, Khan maintains strict oversight to keep things in check, managing a large team behind the scenes. Storm also dismissed rumors about RJ City being a key creative influence, describing him as more of a scapegoat or intern with little actual creative input. While she acknowledged limited creative freedom, Storm continues to get some of her ideas through, and she remains open to exploring new directions organically. She is set to defend her AEW Women’s World Championship in an upcoming four-way match at AEW All Out. The ongoing dynamic showcases a tension between Storm’s boundary-pushing persona and Khan’s control over AEW’s creative direction.
