AEW star Penelope Ford has not been wrestled in AEW ring since January of this year when she defeated Angelica Risk on an episode of Dark. Ford’s absence from AEW television has led to some speculation that her current contract might not be renewed.
However, AEW CEO and President Tony Khan responded to a fan on Twitter that Ford is not medically cleared to wrestle, and that he can’t wait for her to come back. As of this writing, it is not known what Ford’s injury is.
Ford has still remained active on social media and Twitch, but has not mentioned or discussed her injury.
In somewhat related news, there has also been questions on the status of Ford’s husband, Kip Sabian. He has been off AEW television since he and Miro lost in the first-ever Arcade Anarchy match to Best Friends last in March 2021. It is being said Sabian has been seen on television in the crowd wearing a box on his head while dressed in a suit. However, he has not been mentioned on camera by the commentary team.
Sabian did return to in-ring action for England’s British Revolution Wrestling show on July 1st, defeating Robbie X.
