This is Didis South Sato with Robin Lundberg on the Busted Open podcast.

On today's episode, we break down the timeless return of Tony Storm on AW's winter is coming,

only she's no longer timeless and is back as her original self.

This is the busted open podcast.

We hadn't seen this person since AW all in in the summer, but she is back and that is Tony Storm.

But let me make sure to clarify here.

It's the old Tony Storm, not the timeless Tony Storm.

And dude, Robin, it felt so freaking weird because I was so, you know, already used to timeless Tony Storm.

So when, you know, OG Tony Storm walked in the door, it was just one of those things of like, damn, she just felt so freaking different.

So different, she felt like such a massive star and people were, you know,

losing their minds because of the great work that she did as timeless Tony Storm. I want to first

and foremost start there. What did you think of Tony Storm's return and her appearance? No, I loved it.

I mean, look, the timeless Tony Storm gimmick and bit was really cool,

nice vignettes, all that. But I do think this is the right move for this return, a little bit

of a fresh start, the relaunch theme that we've been talking about. And Tony Storm is one of the

most charismatic individuals in AEW right at the top. In fact, she might be the, she's right up there

with MJF, perhaps, as the most charismatic as a personality. You know, Osprey has that nice

balance where he can get it across in a promo and he can go bananas in the ring. But I think just

as far as figure on screen, Mike near them, what might they say, my eyes are captivated, I'm drawn to the screen.

I think Tony Storm is number one for the women and maybe number one overall right now.

So I think that return was big for them.

And now it's up to them to capitalize on it.
