“Timeless” Toni Storm has been at the top of the women’s division in AEW for years, and that isn’t likely to change today. While her three challengers in this match would all be worthy champions at some point in the future, hardly any of our staff thinks that this title is going to change hands at All Out.

First and foremost, it would be disappointing to see Storm’s reign come to an end in a thrown-together four-way. There’s a chance it could happen, with Kris Statlander having some kind of new affiliation with the Death Riders. Right now, though, we envision Storm walking out with the title and possibly continuing to feud against Statlander, as she feels like she’s in the best position to become the next champion.

That’s not to say Jamie Hayter and Thekla aren’t worthy opponents as well. Hayter is a former champion herself, but after so much time off over the last couple of years, she needs to be heated up once again before recapturing the belt. Thekla has plenty of time left for her to work her way to the top of the card, and a strong showing in this match will continue that upward trajectory, but she isn’t quite ready for the world title.

After successfully defending her belt against Mercedes Mone at AEW’s biggest show of the year, and securing another win against the long-reign ROH Women’s World Champion Athena at the next pay-per-view, it would be a strange move to take the title off Storm in this match. For that reason, we’re going with the champ.
