WWE Announces Match For SmackDown, Toni Storm On Her WWE NXT UK Women's Title Win (Video), WALTER

By Marc Middleton

- As noted, today's WWE NXT UK "Takeover: Blackpool" event saw Toni Storm capture the NXT UK Women's Title from Rhea Ripley. Above is post-show video of Storm talking to Radzi Chinyanganya about the win. Radzi asked Storm how she was feeling after the win.

"Oh my God, how do I answer that? Where do I begin? So, like, I've just become the NXT UK Women's Champion," Storm said. "And I don't know. I won the Mae Young Classic to get this opportunity and I could've gone for the RAW title, I could've gone for SmackDown, could've gone for NXT, but I chose the NXT UK Women's Championship because I love this brand. I'm going to do anything in my power to step it up, because it deserves the best women's division and that's exactly what I'm gonna do."

Storm agreed that she's a changed woman since winning the Mae Young Classic last year. She said, "The Mae Young Classic. You're right, it completely changed everything about me. I fought some of the toughest women in the entire world, right after a back injury. Bad things happen to you and you become a different person, you become a dangerous person, but you become a better person. And sometimes you become NXT UK Women's Champion."
