Saraya speaks highly of Toni Storm.
Toni Storm has been on a remarkable run since she left The Outcasts. She has been renowned for her character work with her “Timeless” Persona.
Speaking on Izzy In Sports, Saraya noted that she wished she could have lost the AEW Women’s World Championship to Toni Storm. She also praised her former stablemate.
I wish, the only thing that I wish was a little bit different, I wish it was me that lost to Toni. At that point, people f*cking hated me, and they still do. They do, they hate me online. It is what it is, but I love that because I get booed to sh*t, and it works in my favor. More people want to post about me, and it’s more engagement, and people don’t realize that. You’re talking sh*t, but it’s helping me, I promise. You are elevating me. So I wish it was me because Toni was on her up and up, becoming the face, man or woman, in the company. Right now, she’s one of the biggest things there, and she did that herself. She f*cking did that.
“She was on the up and up, and I was like, in LA, Hollywood freaking Toni, going against the most hated f*cling female or person in AEW, it just would have been even bigger. But I’m glad that Shida got the championship and she made history, becoming the first-ever three-time champion. But I just wish either she had it longer or I would have just lost to Toni, and then they could have gone into a storyline. But Tony Khan knows what he’s doing, so I trust the process. It’s just me personally, I would have loved to have faced Toni in LA and dropped the title to her.”
Saraya On Toni Storm’s Character
Saraya continued by praising how well Toni Storm plays her character.
“Toni delivers [the lines] perfectly. I don’t think anyone else could do that character without it being hokey,” Saraya said. “Toni does it, and she can make it last a lifetime. She’s so good at it. I’m really proud of her. It’s not biased. I’m just saying, no one else could do that character apart from Toni because she knows how to do it to perfection. The proof is in the pudding.
