5. AEW World Women’s Championship: Mariah May vs. Toni Storm

* The atmosphere was electric for the main event where May defended her title. May’s entrance was met with a resounding wave of boos from the crowd. In contrast, Toni Storm had a grandiose entrance, complete with Luther the Butler dressed as a theater usher, setting the stage for “Timeless” Toni Storm.

* Once the bell rang, both competitors went at each other with intensity. Storm showcased her technical prowess with several suplexes. The action spilled to the floor where May aggressively whipped Storm into the barricades. Luther came to Storm’s aid, but May was quick to counter with a spinning backbreaker for a near fall.

* Storm fought back, nearly securing the win with her signature Storm Zero, but May managed a two count. In a surprising turn, May hit a Gutwrench suplex followed by multiple Maydays, yet Storm kicked out at the last possible second.

* Storm rallied, landing another Storm Zero, but May cleverly rolled out to the floor. After missing a charge in the corner, May attempted her own version of Storm Zero. However, Storm escaped another Mayday attempt and quickly capitalized, hitting her finishing move, Storm Zero, to pin May and win the championship.

* After the match, Toni Storm grabbed the microphone and shared a heartfelt moment with the audience. She recounted that the first time she was in this arena, she was sitting among the crowd with her mother. She revealed that her mother had made her outfit for tonight and was present in the audience. Storm then expressed that this was “the greatest honor of her f*cking life” and thanked everyone for being part of this special moment.

It was confirmed that AEW will be returning to Australia in 2026.
