Summary

Stori Denali is the newest member of the Premier Athletes, and talks about her fast rise from collegiate volleyball standout at Ohio State to AEW and Ring of Honor TV! Stori shares how a lifetime of athletics, multiple serious injuries, and a “personality hire” mentality shaped her confidence, mindset, and in-ring style. She details the moment she realized wrestling was for her, what it was like to start training on the indies after utilizing Division I facilities, and how she pushed through imposter syndrome and setbacks to keep her dream alive. She recounts the unbelievable AEW moment when Tony Khan unexpectedly told her she booked a match, how her Ring of Honor debut unfolded, and the surreal path that led her to joining Ari Daivari, Tony Nese, and Mark Sterling as part of the Premiere Athletes. Plus, dog cameos, DM-ing her way into opportunities, and the real story behind “six-three on a bad day.” AEW Unrestricted is sponsored by Upper Deck. The AEW SP Game Used set is out now – packed with autographs, tech cards, and real match-used relics.
