Below are a couple of top AEW news stories of the day, involving Toni Storm and Ric Flair:
• On AEW Collision, Hikaru Shida defeated Abadon in a Fright Night Fight to retain the AEW Women’s World Championship.
After the match, “Timeless” Toni Storm came out to play mind games with Shida.
Toni laid down on the announce table and gave an orange to Tony Schiavone. You can watch where she pulled out the orange from:
Schiavone said the following about this moment with Storm (via AdFreeShows):
“I thought she was just going to sit on the table, but she yanked the top off and stared at me and then just laid right on the table with her rear end right here in my face.
So now I’ve got a girl’s rear end of my face and I’ve got to play it straight.”
• All Elite Wrestling announced that Ric Flair has signed a multi-year deal with them, and his “Wooooo! Energy” drink is now the exclusive energy drink of AEW.
According to Fightful Select, the manufacturer of the “Wooooo! Energy” drink will cover a significant part of Ric’s AEW salary, if not all. That’s why the drink tie-in is an important part of Ric’s deal with AEW.
Flair’s deal is similar to that of Randy Savage’s deal with WCW in the mid-90s, where Macho Man’s Slim Jim deal paid a lot of his salary.
