Penelope Ford Injury Update – Penelope Ford is dealing with another setback after suffering an injury at the end of February during an AEW Women’s World Tag Team Championship match.
The incident occurred when Ford and Megan Bayne challenged The Babes Of Wrath for the titles. During the match, Ford attempted a moonsault to the outside of the ring but landed awkwardly, forcing her to immediately withdraw from the contest. As a result, Bayne had to finish the remainder of the match on her own.
Early reports suggested that Ford may have suffered an ankle sprain rather than a fracture, which initially created optimism that her recovery could be relatively quick. However, AEW President Tony Khan later shared a more cautious update on social media regarding her condition.
According to Khan, Ford could be sidelined for a longer period than originally expected.
“Out with an injury maybe for weeks, but possibly even up to months.”
The injury comes at a difficult time for Ford and Bayne, as the duo had been receiving a strong push in AEW’s recently introduced Women’s World Tag Team Championship division. Their partnership had been gaining momentum as the company continued to establish the new championship scene across its weekly programming.
While Ford’s in-ring future is currently uncertain, AEW has previously kept her involved on television during other injury recoveries. When she dealt with an upper-body injury in the past, the company continued to feature her in non-wrestling appearances. It remains to be seen whether a similar role will be considered while she recovers from the ankle injury.
In the meantime, Megan Bayne is expected to move forward either as a singles competitor or potentially align with a temporary partner in order to remain active in the tag team rankings.
Bayne received positive reactions for her performance after Ford was forced out of the match. Despite being at a disadvantage, she continued competing against The Babes Of Wrath and managed to hold her own for the remainder of the contest.
The AEW Women’s World Tag Team division has recently seen increased activity, particularly on Collision and Rampage. Ford’s absence now leaves a noticeable gap in the division as the company continues to build its tag team landscape.
Ford has faced several injury setbacks in recent years that have slowed her momentum at different points in her AEW run. Despite those challenges, she has remained a consistent presence on the roster since the promotion launched.
Her “Superbad” persona and high-risk style have made her a popular performer among fans, though that same athletic approach contributed to the awkward landing that caused her latest injury.
