All Elite Wrestling President Tony Khan took part in a post-AEW Revolution media scrum and revealed that Big Swole has been off AEW television lately due to a flare-up with Crohn’s Disease, but that he is looking forward to having her back on a more consistent basis once she is healthy.
“Swole’s a great wrestler, she’s got a great personality. I think, in the ring, she’s gotten better and she can continue to get better, she had risen up, she had a great record in 2020 and reached the top contender at one point. She got a title shot, she didn’t beat Shida, but she had a great match and she’s had a lot of great matches, I really like Swole.
In 2021, she has not really been active, because she has been sick, she’s had Crohn’s Disease keeping her out, so she has not been ranked. As you know, we reset the rankings every year consistently for everybody and as we get deeper and deeper into 2021, as the weeks and months pass, the ranking system becomes completely dependent on your record in that calendar year and we’re already at that point now.
She hasn’t wrestled a lot in 2021, the Eliminator Tournament, she was actually out when we started the tournament with her flare-up. I think as she’s getting healthier, hopefully we can consistently get her available and have her in action on a regular basis. She’s a great asset to us.”
