Toni Storm has signed with AEW and is the first to qualify for the Owen Hart Foundation women’s tournament.

Storm made her debut on tonight’s Dynamite, defeating The Bunny with the Storm Zero. After the match, Excalibur said that Storm was the first to qualify for the tournament, which begins in May, with the finals taking place at Double or Nothing on May 29.

The Owen Hart Foundation men’s tournament qualifiers will begin on next week’s Dynamite, with women’s qualifiers continuing. Another qualifier between Skye Blue and Jamie Hayter was announced for this Friday’s Rampage.
