As noted before, Allie Katch has been out of action for Game Changer Wrestling and the indies since this past January due to a broken leg injury and surgery. Katch provided an update on Wednesday on Twitter about the current status of her recovery. Katch stated “thank u Vegas! let me give everyone a broad update so that i dont have to answer these questions anymore–my leg is still broken (a metal rod in it allows me to walk) and i can’t run or jump still so i have absolutely no timeline or idea when i will be back in a ring!“

In a recent interview with the Women’s Wrestling Talk podcast, current ROH Women’s World Television champion Red Velvet gave her thoughts about her goal to wanting to help build up ROH and her belief that ROH is not the “B show” in AEW. Red Velvet stated “To me, in order to be the best, you beat the best. So let’s make the best out of every woman that’s in that locker room. Like to me, I want to build Ring of Honor, and eventually I want my Ring of Honor crew and girls to look over and see what’s up at AEW. If it’s AEW versus Ring of Honor girls, then…. I can’t get to the top without having people willing to fight me at the top for that spot. That’s what I want. I want people who are hungry, who are motivated, who are gonna put in their work like if you want it, come find me and come get it. Like, that’s the way i’ve always learned. So, yeah, my vision for my career right now is to continue defending this title to maybe go hold some more gold, you know? I could collect belts too, but I do want, like i said, I feel like i’m one of the best of my time, so why not live in that and spread it? Everyone gets greedy, I feel and it gets lonely at the top. So to me, I just really want to focus on like, not even just building the women’s division, but like Ring of Honor is not the B show, like great people are on that show. So let’s build it, right? I’m tired of it being overlooked. I’m tired of it being disrespected. Let’s put some stank on it and start cooking.” (Transcript h/t: Fightful.com)
