As an AEW original, Penelope Ford has been a first-hand witness to the expansion of the corporate’s women’s division, which now features stars like Mercedes Mone, Megan Bayne, and Toni Storm. During a recent appearance on “AEW Unrestricted,” Ford took the chance to highlight a few of her fellow long-time roster members, akin to Nyla Rose and Kris Statlander.
Very like her online presence, Ford attests that Rose is “hilarious” backstage, while also being all the way down to earth. Rose, after all, arrived at AEW one month after its official launch in 2019. Since then, she and Ford have shared the ring on a handful of occasions, each in tag team and singles competition. Across the board, though, Ford has been “put relaxed” when being paired with Rose.
As for former TBS Champion Kris Statlander, Ford cites her as a favourite each personally and professionally. Moreover, Ford has found her to be considered one of the strongest competitors within the locker room. “I used to do a variety of intergender wrestling, and together with her, I just feel like there’s just things that you would do with Statlander that you aren’t getting the chance to do with many other people because she’s just so strong,” Ford said. “She’s so talented.”
Elsewhere, Ford prolonged praise for former AEW Women’s Champion Hikaru Shida and former Dark Order member Anna Jay, the latter of whom she labels as a “sweetheart” and a careful creation of God. As for Shida, Ford noted that she and the “talented” Joshi wrestler view their July 2020 battle over the AEW Women’s Championship as a top match of their careers.
