Penelope Ford finally made her return to the ring at a recent taping of AEW Dark: Elevation.
AEW original Penelope Ford has been missing from action for a while now, ever since her landmark match Street Fight. Ford teamed with the Bunny against Anna Jay and Tay Melo. The bout was extremely bloody and violent and saw Ford take a wild Piledriver off the apron through a table.
The dangerous maneuver incapacitated Ford for the rest of the match and allowed Jay to lock in the Queenslayer on the Bunny for the win. This would be Ford’s last appearance for months with no explanation as to why until about a month ago.
In her absence, fans had speculated that Tony Khan had put her on the back burner when in fact, she had been recovering from injury. She has been off TV for several months, predating the injury crisis that AEW is now getting out of.
The company’s fortunes are about to continue improving as Penelope returned on a taping of AEW Dark: Elevation. The episode was taped before this week’s Quake by the Lake episode of Dynamite.
Fans who were not present for her singles bout against Heather Reckless will be able to see the match this Monday. Kip Sabien was also present at ringside, still wearing a box over his head.
Ford’s husband has been out from injury for over a year now after being written off TV following an attack from Miro. As of this writing, it is still unclear when he will return.
Considering the episode of Elevation will air Monday, this could mean that Penelope Ford will return on this week’s Rampage. Khan likes his big returns, and it’s doubtful her official one would be on the YouTube show.
