Toni Storm has reportedly parted ways with WWE

According to Sean Ross Sapp of Fightful.com, WWE SmackDown Superstar Toni Storm has been released by WWE.

Fightful has been informed Toni Storm is gone from WWE.

The report mentions that sources within the company believe that the former NXT UK Women's Champion requested her release. The familiar reason of budget cuts was not listed as the reason for her departure.

Those that I spoke to within WWE believe Toni Storm asked for her release from the company, though I'm also making an effort to reach out to those close to her. The memo that went out did not list budget cuts as the reason, as has been tradition of late.

Toni Storm made her main roster debut on an episode of SmackDown in July where she defeated current Queen of the Ring, Zelina Vega. She competed in the 2018 Mae Young Classic tournament, which she won.
