AEW’s latest signing was officially revealed on this week’s episode of Dynamite, when Mariah May appeared in a backstage segment with RJ City.
In the segment, May spoke to RJ about Storm, with RJ noting that he would introduce May to Strom on next week’s show.
The story between Storm and May is set to get underway following May’s signing, and we now know the direction the company may be taking the character.
Per the Wrestling Observer Newsletter, the story between the two is set to be based on ‘All About Eve’ which many had speculated about.
Dave Meltzer noted:
The story they are doing with May and Storm is based on “All About Eve,” which some figured out immediately. The Luther character is based on Max from Sunset Blvd., and Storm is based now just on Gloria Swanson but also Betty Davis.
“All About Eve” is a 1950 movie that won six Academy Awards including Best Picture. It’s considered one of the greatest movies of all-time. The story is about a Broadway star who turns 40 and worried about her career (played by Davis and is essentially the Storm character) and Eve is this fan girl of Margo Channing (Davis’ character). Eve (May) becomes a big part of Channing’s life as fan girl who starts manipulating things until she basically becomes the new young star to push her out
Storm is set to challenge Hikaru Shida for the AEW Women’s World Championship at Full Gear next weekend.
