AEW Women’s World Tag Team Champion Harley Cameron has deactivated her account on X following strong online criticism after this week’s episode of AEW Dynamite.
During the February 25 broadcast of AEW Dynamite, Cameron and her Babes of Wrath partner, Willow Nightingale, defended their titles against MegaBad, the team of Penelope Ford and Megan Bayne. Late in the match, Ford attempted a moonsault from inside the ring to the floor, aiming at both champions.
Cameron and Nightingale were not fully in position to absorb the impact. As a result, Ford landed awkwardly on her previously injured leg. The spot led to a legitimate injury. Ford was unable to continue, and the referee called an audible in the ring to adjust the finish.
Lena Kross then interfered, causing a disqualification. That decision allowed Cameron and Nightingale to retain the AEW Women’s World Tag Team Championships. It was later reported that Ford suffered an ankle sprain. Fortunately, the injury is not considered a break, and she is expected to return to action in the near future.
After the show aired, a section of fans on social media directed heavy criticism toward Cameron. Some blamed her for the injury and called for disciplinary action, including stripping the champions of their titles. The volume of negative comments increased in the hours following the broadcast.
In response, Cameron removed her X profile. She has not released a public statement addressing either the match incident or her decision to step away from social media.
At the same time, many fans defended Cameron. Supporters noted that high-risk moves such as a moonsault carry danger even when executed correctly. In many cases, the wrestler performing the move lands on their feet while those catching focus on protecting the upper body. Timing and positioning must be exact, and mistakes can happen despite preparation.
For now, Cameron remains one-half of the AEW Women’s World Tag Team Champions alongside Nightingale, while Ford begins her recovery.
