That Would Do It: Speculation On Why Toni Storm Left WWE

There’s your explanation? With such a large roster, WWE is often going to have some people walk away from the company. That might not be the most positive thing, but occasionally there is no way around it. Sometimes wrestlers just do not want to be there anymore, and that seems to have been the case this week as a WWE star simply left the company.

Earlier this week, SmackDown’s Toni Storm left WWE by buying a plane ticket and flying home. According to Wrestling Observer Radio, Storm flew herself home after Tuesday’s live event due to burnout with WWE. The feud with Charlotte was also cited as a possible reason, as Storm was humiliated in the buildup to their title match and then lost, though this is seen as more speculation. Storm will have a ninety day no compete clause, though there is a chance that it could be extended further due to her walking out.

Storm did have some good times in WWE. Check out her better days:

Opinion: If this is the case, and it might not be, can you blame Storm for wanting out? WWE treated her like a complete loser to build up Charlotte all over again. Storm is young, experienced and talented, but she was being hit in the face with a pie, getting beaten up to “earn” her title shot and then got beat in said title shot. What exactly is there to build off of from there? WWE does not hide that there are certain stars they are going to build no matter what and if you’re not part of that group, oh well. Storm will find somewhere else, but this doesn’t exactly make WWE look like the ideal place to go.

What do you think of Storm leaving? Where should she go next? Let us know in the comments below.
