>Australia’s Toni Storm will battle Japan’s Io Shirai in the tournament Finals this Sunday at WWE Evolution, the first-ever all-women’s pay-per-view, which streams live, exclusively on the award-winning WWE Network.
>In making it to this point, Storm and Shirai have exhibited tremendous heart and determination, as well as demonstrated their considerable firepower. The Lightning Down Under, who advanced to the Semifinals in last year’s tournament, earned her berth with victories over Jinny, Hiroyo Matsumoto, Mia Yim and the iconic Meiko Satomura. The Genius of the Sky, meanwhile, triumphed over Xia Brookside, Zeuxis and Deonna Purrazzo before besting the vicious Rhea Ripley.
