In March of this year, Rhea Ripley broke the internet through a spot in a WWE Live Show. During an untelevised match against Nia Jax, Ripley used the controversial move known as the stink face. The finisher consists of rubbing the buttocks on the face of the opponent while he or she lies in the corner. This was a move used by Rikishi, and Ripley believed it was a fitting tribute to the WWE legend.
And now, it seems like the former WWE Women’s champion’s version of the female stink face has got a new variation. As Toni Storm too used the move in a hilarious video.
During a match against Viva Van, ‘Timeless’ Toni Storm gave Van a debut match to remember. As the AEW debutant was doing a taunt in the middle of the ring by dodging an attack from Storm, ‘Timeless’ wanted to give the newcomer a lesson to remember. A stinky lesson reminding the debutant that you cannot be too distracted while in the ring.

Toni Storm appeared from behind and thrust her buttocks into Van’s face. And it wasn’t a single thrust. As she continuously kept hitting her buttocks against the face of Viva Van. Making it appear as if it were a standing version of Naomi’s finisher. But by doing the round-and-round arm taunt by Rikishi, Storm made it clear that it was her version of the Stinkface.

The Timeless Stink face hits AEW
But this wouldn’t be the only reason Van would remember the night. She also became the first Viet-Amerian woman to wrestle for a major wrestling promotion on TV. Thanking Toni Storm for the match, she wrote on Twitter, “What an incredible way to end AAPI Month! Not only did I make my #AEWRampage debut, but I also became the FIRST EVER Viet-American Woman to wrestle for a Major Wrestling Promotion on TV 🇻🇳🇺🇸. Thank you @AEW, @TonyKhan, Toni Storm, & everyone else who made this dream possible ❤️🔥”

As for Storm, despite all the opponents she’s had to deal with, she has continued to move forward with the AEW Women’s World Championship in her hands. Even on Double or Nothing, Toni Storm almost succumbed to a loss on more than one occasion. And even looked a little desperate when she saw Serena Deeb survive a Storm Zero. However, the champion eventually prevailed with an Avalanche Storm Zero followed by another Storm Zero to finish off Deeb and retain the title. So it would be interesting to see what’s next in store for the AEW superstar. What do you think of the spot? Let us know in the comments.
