Most recently seen being put through an air hockey table by the returning Kris Statlander on last week’s episode of AEW Dynamite, Penelope Ford has taken to Twitter to reveal she’s had a rare allergic reaction over the weekend.

As the Super Bad Girl detailed, this allergic reaction is due to eyelash extensions that she’s seemingly been having some issues with for the past several weeks.

While she’s not in the all-important Top 5 of the rankings for AEW’s women’s division at the moment, Ford is currently undefeated in 2021.

Having started the year with a Dynamite victory over the impressive Leyla Hirsch, Penelope last month scored Dark wins against Tesha Price and Miranda Aliza, whilst also picking up a W against Leila Grey on the third episode of Dark: Elevation.

Given how Statlander’s return to AEW action last week saw her lay out Ford, it looks as if those two are due to face off over the coming weeks. If you remember, the Galaxy’s Greatest Alien had spent the past six months on the shelf after tearing her ACL performing a dive on Kip Sabian during a tag bout pitting Statlander and Hikaru Shida vs. Penelope Ford and Nyla Rose.
