Penelope Ford Explains Her Long Layoff, Wanting To Lift People Up

– During an appearance on this week’s AEW Unrestricted, AEW wrestler Penelope Ford discussed her long layoff from late 2022 to late 2024. Ford previously dealt with a miscarriage along with other injuries, which she discussed. Below are some highlights (via WrestlingInc.com):

Penelope Ford on what happened in 2022: “I had my miscarriage in 2022, and then I had to have surgery because I had a fibroid the size of a cantaloupe.So I was out for that. And then when I came back, I think Bunny got injured. And then, as soon as she came back, I had gotten injured again. And then it was just like back and forth.”

On believing in herself: “I’m just really determined in myself to be the best, and…you know, just manifesting and actually betting on yourself. And I’m not worried about being a twig or super skinny anymore. I’m like ‘I want to be strong.’ I want to lift people. I don’t want people to think I’m just a ragdoll. Like, I’m small, you can just throw me around. I’m not that.”
