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.

Following his victory over Eddie Kingston in a Barbwire Everywhere match last week, Chris Jericho officially laid down the challenge to current interim AEW World Champion Jon Moxley on the July 27 edition of AEW Dynamite. Jericho, flaked by his Jericho Appreciation Society crew, came out and challenged Mox to the match at ‘Quake By The Lake’ following his championship victory over Rush in the opening match of Dynamite.

Moxley beat Jericho at the 2020 Revolution pay-per-view to capture the AEW World Championship during his first reign with the strap.

Moxley has held the interim AEW World title since defeating Hiroshi Tanahashi for the belt at AEW x NJPW: Forbidden Door on June 26. He has since defended the title against Rush and Brody King. The interim title was created following an injury to current AEW World Champion CM Punk. 

Jericho was the first AEW World Champion, defeating Hangman Page to win the title at AEW All Out, in August 2019.
