Toni Storm has vacated the wXw Women’s Championship due to an injury sustained last week. wXw Germany issued the following statement:
wXw Women’s Championship Vacated
wXw Women’s Champion Toni Storm has sustained an injury last weekend. At this point Toni is awaiting further examination to determine the seriousness of this injury. Toni is thus forced to cancel her appearances with us & PROGRESS in Germany this weekend. Toni said she was ‘heartbroken’ to miss those events. We do wish Toni a full recovery and hope to have her back inside wXw & PROGRESS rings soon.
As the wXw Women’s Championship would be without a defense in well over four months, we have decided to vacate the title. Despite the current insecurity regarding Toni’s situation and despite Toni having been a fantastic champion, we believe other wrestlers have the right to compete for the highest price in this division.
Current #1 contender is Alpha Female who is in line for a title chance this Saturday at wXw FAN 2018 in Oberhausen.
Her opponent will be determined in a 3 Way Dance between Killer Kelly, Kris Wolf and Melanie Gray on Friday at wXw FAN 2018 in Hamburg.
First Ever NXT UK Women’s Champion Crowned (SPOILERS)
Storm is believed to have been injured in the final match of the NXT UK Women’s Championship tournament last weekend. Since it was already taped, she will still appear in the 2018 Mae Young Classic broadcast (which starts next week), and is still scheduled to face Io Shirai in the finals of tournament at WWE Evolution on October 28th.
