Toni Storm comments on feeling “very lost” from a creative standpoint during her time with WWE

During an appearance on the Marking Out with MVP & Dwayne Swayze podcast, “Timeless” Toni Storm was asked about creative freedom in WWE…

“Well here’s the thing, this is where I get stuck on it. If the WWE- I don’t think I was told what to do enough. I wasn’t told to do anything actually. I wasn’t told like, I mean, obviously you were told what to do under certain circumstance. But overall like, I don’t feel like I was told what to do enough. I was very lost. I mean like I knew there was direction in things like ‘this is how you do it, this is what you do on television, cameras.’ As in regards to a character? No, I was never like, I mean they write promos but like I was- I just did it. Wasn’t really told ‘do this, today you’re a cat and your names Tori bloody Smith.’ No one told me anything and I kept my name the whole time and it was like I had complete creative freedom to be honest, some where others didn’t and others were given things. It’s so much so a very difficult thing to grasp.”

“I would have done anything to be honest. That’s the weird thing about this if they had just given me some mad off the wall thing, I would have 100% gone with it. This is like therapy!” (quotes courtesy of Corey Brennan)
