AEW President Tony Khan confirms that Penelope Ford is injured, adding to the growing list of injured stars.
Injuries are always an inevitability in the wrestling industry, and AEW currently has a lot of sidelined stars. Top draws like CM Punk, Bryan Danielson, Jungle Boy, and Kenny Omega are currently benched.
AEW President Tony Khan has had a tall order of putting on weekly television without his top stars. There is no word on when Danielson or Omega will be back as they seem to be experiencing complications with recovery.
Punk, on the other hand, may be on his way back from a broken foot sooner than expected. Today on Twitter, Khan confirmed that another regularly featured competitor is also injured.
Penelope Ford hasn’t been seen on AEW programming for a while now as she has been dealing with an undisclosed injury. Tony Khan revealed this information when a fan asked if he had given up on her.
Khan responded that he had not and is simply waiting for her to be medically cleared for a return. He also praised her work, having been featured in memorable matches over the past year.
It’s also worth noting that Ford’s husband, Kip Sabin, is also on the injury list. He received shoulder surgery last year in May, but there is still no timetable for his return.
Ford made her wrestling debut in December 2014 in CZW and worked the indies before joining AEW in 2019. One of her most memorable matches to date was fought teaming with the Bunny against Anna Jay and Tay Conti.
It was a very physical and violent bout that saw Ford’s team suffer defeat
