This was fantastic, I really hope the outcasts thing is done and they go their separate ways.
I think too often in AEW it feels like someone will lose a title and then they're off TV for a while so I like the fact we got to hear from the former champion straight away and that she got to show some character and personality. Plus I always like when someone really sells how crushed they are to lose their title, makes it seem more important.
Thought that was by far the most confident she's sounded.

I know most prefer her as a face but her mic work and stuff has improved so much as a heel.
Sunset Boulevard is one of my favourite ever films and definitely got that vibe from her too 🤣

Toni's foudn her confidence as a talker and I'm so glad. She's been great as a workhorse champ but she definitely needs something more to carry her when she can't be champion. This is a good point to start from

Toni been going for the Marilyn Monroe vibes recently.
She does have a role in a movie coming up doesn’t she?

You know it's serious when someone appears in public with their hair rollers and clips still in place.
I'd love to think that Toni and Juice sometimes talk in their promo voices to each other.

Idk if this means The Outcasts get quietly phased out or not but I'm really digging this
The women need more character work and story beats like this, really hope it continues. Again hire Allison Danger to help with this Tony lol

Get Ruby to go after Statlander as well.

Imagine Toni and her husband acting in a two-person, one-act play just going bonkers.

I love how she's become as wacky as her husband.

Think it's interesting that there's been a noticeable jump in quality of promo's like this too, from Toni to BCG to Cage & Big Bill to Swerve & AR Fox to Christian Cage to Statlander. Their backstage segments felt like a weak point for quite a while, just throwaway talking between matches, but they've been fantastic this week and it's really great timing.

Felt this needed its own thread: That was perfection. Bravo! Edit: I also had to send this to my fiancee who LOVES old Hollywood stuff. Edit 2: He said it was beautiful, and he could absolutely see the parallels to Norma Desmond, and is now trying to talk me into seeing Sunset Boulevard

Statlander squatting Renee during her promo as well.

Loved it. This promo and the Statlander promo squatting Renee and just being her weird self were both great. I’m intrigued to see where this goes.

I love how she's become as wacky as her husband. This is exactly why I want to see her leave the Outcasts and join the Bang Bang Gang!

Great promo love the direction this is going in. Reminds me a little of Chelsea’s Green’s Hot Mess character and I hope Toni continues to lose her sanity over the weeks.
Why isn’t Toni Storm enough for Tony Schiavone anyway? Is it because they have the same name? He’s still pining for Britt? Schiavone has a lot to answer for!
