Things turned steamy at the end of the AEW Women’s Title match at Double or Nothing.
In the sixth match of the night, on the 25th May 2025 episode of Double or Nothing, Toni Storm defended her Women’s Championship against Mina Shirakawa. After a hard-fought technical match, Storm was able to retain her title following a ‘Storm Zero’ on Shirakawa.
However, after the match finished, Toni Storm and Mina Shirakawa engaged in an intimate conversation before kissing each other. The two share a long history dating back to last year, when they were involved in a bizarre love triangle storyline alongside Mariah May.

Last year, during the Forbidden Door PPV, Storm had defeated Shirakawa, which also ended up in a three-way kiss between them and May. However, Mariah May soon turned heel on Storm, destroying their relationship before All In 2024.
Mariah May Discusses Her 3-Way Kiss With Toni Storm And Mariah May At AEW Forbidden Door
Last year, during an interview with Freddie Prinze Jr. on Wrestling with Freddie, former women’s champion Mariah May opened up her 3-way kiss with Toni Storm and Mina Shirakawa.
“It was not pitched. We just did it. Mina and I are extremely close. We’ve always been very close in Stardom. We just did it. The next time around, they were like, ‘Hey, can you guys stop kissing?’”
“I think there’s a bit of an archaic view on it and people seem to think we have no autonomy over our bodies. It’s my choice who I kiss. It’s my choice what I do. If I’m not comfortable doing something, I would always say so.
I remember seeing, you know, the usual suspects, being like, ‘Oh my God. This is setting women’s wrestling back so much.’ It’s like, first of all, no one made us do it. We chose to do it. That’s just how we show affection to each other and we always have in our friendship.
Like I said, if I don’t want to do something, I won’t, but myself, Mina, and Toni are three extremely decorated women’s wrestlers who, off our own backs, have become very successful all over the world, and so to try and tell us we’re setting women’s wrestling back was pretty crazy to me. The numbers don’t lie. I think myself, Toni, and Mina got the best rated segments for about eight weeks in a row, and as we should.”
