Tony Khan, President of AEW and Ring of Honor (ROH), held his routine pre-show media session on Tuesday, addressing an important injury update involving ROH Women’s Television Champion Red Velvet. The announcement came ahead of two significant wrestling events scheduled this weekend in Texas: AEW ALL IN: Texas at Global Life Field in Arlington and the ROH Supercard of Honor 2025 at the eSports Stadium in Dallas.
Khan revealed that Red Velvet sustained an injury that will prevent her from defending the ROH Women’s TV title at the Supercard of Honor event on July 11. The injury sidelines her from both the ROH pay-per-view on Friday and the AEW ALL IN: Texas show on Saturday.
Interim Championship to Be Established Due to Red Velvet’s Injury
Given Red Velvet’s forced absence, Tony Khan announced that an interim ROH Women’s TV Champion will be crowned during the Supercard of Honor event. Khan explained that the delay in starting the Pure Title tournament was partially due to the overlap of participants who would contend both for the interim TV championship and the Pure title, complicating scheduling.
“Because Red Velvet will not be able to compete, I will be having an ROH Women’s TV Title Interim Champion crowned at Supercard of Honor,”
Khan stated.
“That situation caused some delays in getting the Pure Title tournament started because, frankly, it’s a lot of the same people fighting for the interim TV champion position, who would also be in line for the Pure tournament. I think Red Velvet will be back in a matter of weeks, maybe a few months, tops.”
He further expressed cautious optimism regarding her recovery, adding,
“With the injury to Red Velvet, it’s something that I think she’s going to be able to work through, but she’s not going to be able to defend, due to injury, the women’s TV championship at Supercard of Honor. I will address that situation.”
Upcoming Events Highlight an Important Weekend for AEW and ROH Fans
The ROH Supercard of Honor is set for this Friday at the eSports Stadium, promising a stacked card with high-profile matches, followed by the AEW ALL IN: Texas event on Saturday at Global Life Field. Both events are expected to feature appearances from numerous wrestling talents and will attract significant attention from fans in the Dallas-Fort Worth area.
A recent tweet from ROH emphasized the excitement building for the Supercard of Honor weekend, noting the lineup and the remaining episode of ROH TV scheduled to air before the pay-per-view. The anticipation is strong as fans and media members alike look forward to witnessing who will claim the interim title and the unfolding storylines surrounding these major wrestling events.
Impact on Championship Scene and Future Prospects
Red Velvet’s injury and the decision to crown an interim champion introduce a notable shift in the ROH Women’s TV title picture, affecting both the narrative and competition within the division. The establishment of an interim champion ensures the title remains active and contested despite her absence, while also potentially setting up a storyline for a unification match upon her return.
The delay in the Pure Title tournament reflects the logistical challenges caused by overlapping contenders, but AEW and ROH officials appear committed to maintaining competitive momentum across all divisions despite these hurdles.
Fans are advised to follow ongoing coverage for detailed results of the Supercard of Honor and ALL IN: Texas events, where the interim championship and other key storylines will develop further, highlighting the importance of this weekend for the wrestling community in the Lone Star State.
