AEW President Tony Khan shared an important update regarding Penelope Ford’s injury ahead of the Collision event on Saturday, revealing that her recovery might take a significant amount of time. Khan did not disclose the exact nature of the injury but indicated Ford could be sidelined for weeks or even months, delaying her in-ring return.
Details Surrounding Ford’s Injury During Dynamite
Penelope Ford reportedly sustained an ankle injury during a tag match on the February 26 episode of Dynamite. The injury likely occurred when she attempted a moonsault off the top rope to the outside. The match involved the Babes of Wrath facing MegaBad, which ended abruptly after Lena Kross disqualified the challengers by striking Willow Nightingale with a title belt.
Recent Matches and Ford’s Past Recovery Struggles
At the recent Collision event, Megan Bayne and Lena Kross teamed up to defeat the Timeless Love Bombs. Penelope Ford had just returned to action in January after missing several months due to a torn UCL, highlighting her ongoing battle with injuries throughout her career.
Potential Impact of Ford’s Extended Absence on AEW
With Tony Khan’s update signaling a potentially lengthy recovery period, Penelope Ford’s absence poses challenges for AEW’s women’s division, especially given her previous injury history. Her extended time away from the ring may alter upcoming storylines and matches, creating uncertainty around the timing of her eventual return.
… Penelope Ford, it looks like, unfortuntately, will be out with an injury maybe for weeks but possibly up to months.
