What is being said about Toni Storm being pulled from her AEW Dynamite match against Marina Shafir

Aaron Rift

As seen during the March 18th 2026 edition of AEW Dynamite, Mina Shirakawa defeated Marina Shafir in a no-holds-barred match. Toni Storm was originally advertised as Marina’s opponent, but it was revealed that Toni had been “attacked” just before Dynamite went on the air.

While speaking on Wrestling Observer Radio, Bryan Alvarez of F4WOnline.com commented on the situation….

“All I know is this was a legitimate replacement, meaning something actually happened to Toni. She clearly seems to have got hurt because she wasn’t cleared for the show. But it wasn’t until the last minute. They advertised this all the way until today. It wasn’t until 10 minutes before the show that I guess they were waiting and waiting and hoping and then at the last second they were like, ‘Not going to happen.'” (quote courtesy of Cultaholic.com)
