In my opinion, she’s our most valued player – consistently delivering top-notch performances. Her performance in the match was enhanced with some color, adding immense drama to the bout. Toni is an outstanding wrestler with phenomenal work ethic, both backstage and front-stage. Her recent face-off with the promising talent Mariah May was noteworthy and I believe she’s helping make Mariah a star.”
