On a recent edition of his “Hall of Fame” podcast, Booker T spoke about Storm’s character work and believes she’s more ‘over’ than ever. He said,
“I like it, it’s different. What I like about it — you could have all the hardcore matches you want to have, you can have all the spots, jumping over the top rope, but there’s always a spot on the show for entertainment, and that’s what she’s doing right now. Toni Storm might be doing her best work, she might be more over than she’s ever been, and it’s not because of any one of her matches.”
