She switched. There are certain storylines and angles that you see take place in wrestling over and over. This is the case for a reason, as there are certain things that just work out every time. One of the best of these is often a betrayal to end a partnership, which is what we saw this week at the end of a show, following a major accomplishment for one of the people involved.

The end of this week’s AEW Dynamite saw Mariah May defeat Willow Nightingale to win the Women’s Owen Hart Foundation Tournament. This set May up for a shot against Women’s Champion Toni Storm, her longtime friend and mentor at All In. Following the match, May turned on Storm, attacking her with the Owen Hart belt and a shoe. May also attacked Storm’s butler Luther.

This was big. Check out the attack, plus part of how we got here:

Opinion: This was a heck of a surprise and that is often a good way to go. What mattered here was having May look like a monster and someone who turned on her friend and mentor after getting what she wanted. That is something that should set up a heck of a showdown later on, possibly with Storm being a bit more serious than usual. In other words, AEW has done something rather well and we should be in for an effective story.
