Injury Forces Unexpected Finish in Women's Tag Title Bout
26 Feb
Summary
- Women's Tag Team Titles retained via disqualification due to injury.
- Lena Kross's interference was an audible called after Penelope Ford's injury.
- Penelope Ford recently returned from a torn ligament injury in January.
The AEW Women's World Tag Team Championship match on Wednesday's Dynamite concluded with an unexpected disqualification finish. The Babes of Wrath retained their titles over Megabad after Lena Kross interfered, hitting Willow Nightingale with a championship belt. This audible was reportedly called after Penelope Ford sustained an injury during the bout.
Ford required medical attention for much of the latter half of the match, leaving her partner Megan Bayne at a disadvantage. Medical staff ruled Ford out during a commercial break, prompting the change in plans to a disqualification. This rare DQ finish led to a post-match confrontation where Bayne and Kross attacked the champions.
This incident highlights the unpredictable nature of live wrestling events. Ford had only recently returned to the ring in January after a significant recovery period for a torn ligament in her right elbow. The original planned finish for the title match remains unknown as adjustments were made to the show's structure.
