Penelope Ford made her return to AEW programming after a long hiatus during tonight’s Title Tuesday edition of Dynamite from Spokane Arena in Spokane, Washington.
A Women’s Championship #1 Contenders match between Britt Baker and Willow Nightingale had been scheduled for this week’s episode of AEW’s flagship show.
When Baker was unable to make the bout due to illness, Tony Khan replaced her with not one but three names including Jamie Hayter, Saraya, and Nyla Rose.
During a spot in the bout, Hayter took a chair from Saraya’s hand and beat the former champion with it. Saraya retreated outside and Hayter followed but Harley Cameron stopped her from using the chair again.
Jamie Hayter sent Cameron crashing into the barricade in response. Penelope Ford then appeared out of nowhere and hit Hayter with a chair. Jamie started chasing Ford to the back, essentially removing herself from the match:
Penelope Ford’s Absence
Penelope Ford has not been seen on AEW programming for some time now. She last wrestled for the company way back in February 2023.
Ford and her husband Kip Sabian opened up about suffering a miscarriage in March of that year. Sabian also made his return to TV very recently.
After Penelope’s interference, Willow Nightingale managed to win the match. She sent Saraya flying through a table with a Death Valley Driver and pinned the former WWE star for the win.
Willow will now be challenging the AEW Women’s World Champion Mariah May at the upcoming WrestleDream PPV on October 12.
