Former WCW star Konnan praised the recent opening segment between Mercedes Mohn and Toni Storm but raised concerns about one aspect of Storm’s character presentation. On the Keepin’ It 100 podcast, Konnan reviewed the June 25, 2025, episode of AEW Dynamite, where Mohn and Storm started the show with an intense brawl that effectively set up their match. Konnan noted that this was a unique approach since it’s uncommon for the two women to kick off a show with a fight in AEW.
Co-host Discoinferno suggested a change to the segment, recommending that Mohn should have kicked Toni Storm’s assistant, Bullet Luther, right from the start instead of just pushing him. Konnan expressed doubt about Luther’s contribution to Storm’s act, pointing out that Luther doesn’t seem to add much value since he doesn’t speak on her behalf. He admitted finding Luther amusing but questioned his role’s significance.
Discoinferno joked that Luther’s main job seems to be keeping his clothes clean by visiting the dry cleaners weekly. Konnan added that Luther must be willing to accept limited screen time and pay, noting his long absence from wrestling before joining AEW in 2019 as Storm’s butler and later becoming a consistent part of her character since 2023.
Fan Take: This critique shines a light on how important every character’s contribution is to a wrestler’s overall story in AEW. For fans, it raises questions on whether AEW is fully maximizing the potential of supporting characters, which could impact how engaging their storylines feel moving forward.
