Mina Shirakawa and “Timeless” Toni Storm have evolved from friends into a formidable tag team known to AEW fans as the Timeless Love Bombs. Both reached the finals of the AEW Women’s World Tag Team Championship tournament but were defeated by the Babes of Wrath. Despite the loss, they remain focused on achieving championship success in 2026. Shirakawa appeared on the AEW Unlimited podcast, discussing her connection with Storm, especially after their match at AEW Double or Nothing 2025. She revealed that their previous rivalry, fueled by their shared relationship with Mariah May, initially made competing against each other easier. However, as their friendship strengthened, it became harder to face off because winning meant taking something valuable from her partner. Over time, Shirakawa and Storm moved from a trio with Mariah to a strong duo, growing closer after these experiences.
Their bond deepened in 2024 due to their mutual admiration for Mariah May, and following Mariah’s departure to WWE, they found common ground in their shared loss. Shirakawa noted that this unspoken understanding brought them closer. Additionally, she credited Storm’s experience in Stardom, where the intense Japanese wrestling style sharpened their skills, making the Timeless Love Bombs an even more formidable team in AEW.
Fan Take: This partnership highlights how personal relationships can translate into powerful in-ring chemistry, making the Timeless Love Bombs a compelling team to watch. Their blend of emotional depth and hard-hitting style could elevate the women’s tag team division in AEW, promising exciting rivalries and storylines for fans.
