AEW President and ROH owner Tony Khan recently participated in a media call to promote the Supercard of Honor. During the call, he discussed various topics, including the current status of Red Velvet, the reigning Women’s TV Champion, who is currently out of action. As a result, an interim champion will be crowned at Friday’s event.
Khan said, “With the injury to Red Velvet, it’s something that I think she’s going to be able to work through. But she’s not going to be able to defend, due to injury, the women’s TV championship at Supercard of Honor. I will address that situation with an interim TV title. Because Red Velvet will not be able to compete, I will be having an ROH Women’s TV Title Interim Champion crowned at Supercard of Honor. That situation caused some delays in getting the Pure Title tournament started because, frankly, it’s a lot of the same people fighting for the interim TV champion position, who would also be in line for the Pure tournament. I think Red Velvet will be back in a matter of weeks, maybe a few months, tops.”
