Red Velvet is officially on the shelf, and now we know why she missed Supercard of Honor. The reigning ROH Womens TV Champion was pulled from the card due to not being medically clearedand now the real story has surfaced.
According to the Wrestling Observer, Red Velvet suffered a neck injury during her June 22 match against Kira at the AEW, NJPW, and CMLL crossover event. The report didnt detail the exact moment the injury occurred, but it was enough to keep her out of action indefinitely.
The exact severity of the neck issue remains unclear, and theres still no confirmed timeline for her return. That uncertainty prompted Ring of Honor to crown an interim Womens TV Champion during Supercard of Honor, where Mina Shirakawa walked away with the gold.
The long-term plan appears to be a future showdown between Velvet and Shirakawa once Velvet is cleared. Shes expected to face Mina to determine the undisputed ROH Womens TV Champion, a source close to the situation confirmed.
Red Velvets road to recovery may take some time, but all signs point to a showdown waiting once shes back.
How do you think Red Velvet will bounce back from this neck injury? Should she be forced to vacate or does a match with Shirakawa make sense when shes cleared? Drop your thoughts in the comments.
