Minnesota has seen its fair share of chaos—blizzards, heartbreak, and whatever Kirk Cousins was doing—but nothing prepared them for the AEW Dynamite main event, where Megan Bayne did the unthinkable: she pinned “Timeless” Toni Storm clean in the middle of the ring.
That’s right. The woman who cosplays like a 1930s Hollywood starlet and hits like a freight train finally met her match, and it came in the form of a Greek mythology reject turned wrestling destroyer. And no, this wasn’t just a fluke or a distraction roll-up. This was Bayne descending from Olympus, delivering a Fates’ Descent that left the champ staring at the ceiling—and the crowd gasping like someone had just slapped a martini out of her hand.
Storm and Thunder Rosa, collectively known as Thunder Tits (yes, really), tried their best to keep the drama stylish and the teamwork tight. And to their credit, Rosa put in the work—eating Bayne’s offense early and firing back later with a flurry that included kicks, a Death Valley Driver, and an energy that screamed, “I haven’t missed leg day once.”
But Megan Bayne? She was built different Wednesday night.
After an all-out brawl that saw Penelope Ford hit a cutter, Rosa exact revenge, and Bayne deliver chaos like it was Amazon Prime one-day shipping, the match came down to the inevitable: Storm vs. Bayne. The crowd roared as Storm hit her corner hip attack, only to be visibly alarmed when Bayne stood back up like a horror movie villain that doesn’t know what “down for the count” means.
A miscommunication saw Bayne accidentally annihilate her own partner with a Pump Kick, but even that didn’t slow her. Storm went for the ol’ crafty roll-up pin, but Bayne said “not today, darling,” and picked the champ up like a reusable grocery bag full of regret.
One Fates’ Descent later and boom—Bayne pinned the AEW Women’s World Champion. Just like that.
Storm’s first pinfall loss in 70 days. Gone. Just in time for Dynasty, where they’ll meet again—this time in singles action. No partners. No chaos. Just Storm trying to prove she’s still timeless, and Bayne trying to make time run out.
