Former Impact Wrestling star Angelina Love and Fodder are tying the knot as man and wife.
Love took to her Twitter account to announce the news as she shared photos of herself sporting an engagement ring alongside the fellow wrestler.
The two have been wrestling on the independent scene and in the NWA. Fodder has only wrestled for two years while Love has been in the wrestling business for 22 years where she has competed in promotions such as TNA Wrestling, Ring Of Honor, Game Changer Wrestling, SHINE Wrestling, and AAA. They signed with the NWA last year.
The Announcement
Love, who is a former six-time TNA Knockout’s Champion, captioned the post that had photos with the following:
“It was so easy to say YES! to this man ? My King, my best friend, my soulmate and David’s Big Cheese ? love you always and forever @LoKeys910.”
Congrats to the happy couple!
Love most recently wrestled on NWA Powerrr on February 12th when she lost to La Rosa Negra. Fodder’s last match happened on this same episode when he beat VHS.

A former WWE backstage producer was recently arrested in Vanderburgh County, Indiana. According to a report from PW Insider, Sarah Stock was arrested early Sunday morning and charged with aggravated battery, public intoxication, disorderly conduct, and resisting law enforcement.
She was booked and released early Sunday morning by the Vandenburgh Sheriff’s Department.
Stock had been with WWE since 2015 but was furloughed this spring and later released due to the ongoing global pandemic. She wrestled as Sarita in TNA Wrestling from 2009 to 2013. She has also competed for companies such as Shimmer as well as CMLL in Mexico. Stock had previously wrestled under the names Dark Angel and Canadian Dark Angel as well.
While in TNA, Stock won the promotion’s women’s tag-team championships twice. She won the inaugural titles in 2009 with Taylor Wilde. They would hold the belts for 106 days before dropping them to Awesome Kong and Hamada.
Stock would team with Zelina Vega in 2011 and again win the belts. This time her team defeated Angelina Love and Winter to gain the championships. They would hold the titles for 129 days until dropping them to Brooke Tessmacher and Tara. Her 2 reigns and 227 combined days spent with 1/2 of the women’s tag belts ranks her 5th all-time in the promotion.
Angelina Love has officially revealed she has re-signed with Ring of Honor Wrestling. Love, who leads ROH stable The Allure, shared the news via her Instagram account and in an official statement.
Love uploaded a picture of herself flanked with fellow Allure members Velveteen Sky and Mandy Leon. The trio are stood underneath a Madison Square Garden sign.
The world-famous arena in New York City is where the group first debuted. They would arrive in ROH during the promotion’s co-promoted show with New Japan Pro-Wrestling, G1 Supercard, which took place last April.
In an official statement, Angelina Love addressed her re-signing with ROH:
“I am extremely happy to have re-signed with Ring Of Honor. I’m very happy working here and look forward to continuing to take the women’s division to new heights this year and beyond. The Allüre will continue to dominate. Just watch.”
Since her time in the ROH, the near 20-year veteran has enjoyed a single reign as the ROH Women’s Champion. She won the title back in September 2019. Having vacated the championship, ROH was due to hold a tournament to determine a new ROH Women’s World Champion.
These plans were derailed, unfortunately, due to the current coronavirus pandemic. The outbreak has forced several sports organizations to delay and cancel events, with pro wrestling being heavily affected.
An incident at ROH’s show on Sunday night in Portland has drawn reactions from fans and wrestlers alike. A fan at State of the Art Portland noted on Twitter that he was taken to the back by security during the event and then confronted by Bully Ray.
Bully Ray and ROH released statements yesterday in response to the incident.
Angelina Love and Velvet Sky of the Allure have since commented as well. Love responded to a follow up Tweet by the fan in question:
Typical Narcissistic sociopath behaviour. Act like an absolute maniac & verbally/sexually harass talent on shows & then act like you’re a victim so you can cry for attention on Twitter. Fans don’t act the way you did. I looked directly in your eyes. You had evil intent in them.
— Lauren/Angelina Love (@ActualALove) June 4, 2019
Velvet Sky responded to Angelina in the same thread:
He blocked me after I called him out for verbally sexually harassing the 3 of us and disguising it as him “booing the heels.”
— Lauren/Angelina Love (@ActualALove) June 4, 2019
The Allure Respond To Incident With Fan At State of the Art Portland
You support verbal sexual harassment as well which is why you’re insinuating we are justifying the harassment that actually took place 3 times in 2 nights. Why do you even follow me?
Mandy Leon has only responded to the incident with one Tweet:
Stop with the lies & scratching for attention dude. Man up. Own your behavior & take responsibility. You were extremely inappropriate verbally attacking & sexually harassing talent on a level that is not acceptable in any environment PERIOD. 2 shows in a row. Be cool & drop it.
The Allure is a new stable in ROH which debuted at the G1 Supercard in Madison Square Garden. Mandy Leon and Angelina Love will both wrestle for the stable but Velvet Sky continues to state she is retired from in-ring competition. They are scheduled to face Jenny Rose and Kelly Klein on ROH TV in the coming weeks.
Former six-time IMPACT Wrestling Knockouts Champion Angelina Love was recently interviewed on the Pancakes and Powerslams Show to discuss a variety of professional wrestling topics. Love discussed being pulled from her debut on SmackDown while in the crowd, and explained why she left IMPACT Wrestling. You can check out the highlights here:

Being pulled from her SmackDown Live debut while in the crowd:
“I was literally sitting, planted in the crowd, with my debut segment on SmackDown next, and I got pulled. My segment got completely cut out, and the people I was supposed to work with went straight into a completely different storyline. In 2006, there were talks about doing something with JBL, but that never happened. Then I had gone back up to SmackDown in August of that year, to do something with Matt Hardy.
“I remember they had me [sitting] in the front row in the crowd. The first segment was Booker T, when he was King Booker, knighting Finlay and Regal. The next segment was Matt Hardy supposed to go over Psicosis or Super Crazy, he was supposed to go over one of them. I was standing there, so happy and clapping, and he would [come over] and say, ‘who’s this blonde girl?’, and eventually I would end up being his girlfriend. We’re like minutes, if not less, of my segment starting, and the guy, the floor manager who planted me, patted me on the shoulder, pulled me over and said ‘your segment got cut.’ [Eventually] I was told that as soon as the show started, Vince rewrote the whole show.”
Why she decided to leave IMPACT Wrestling:
– “Once [Davey Richards and I] had our blow-off match, the writing was on the wall, and I’m just at a point in my life where I’m a mother, I’ve been with Impact for 10 years. I saw where it was going, and it just was not something that I [was interested in]. Use me full force, because I’m worth it, or I gotta go. I know my worth.”

It appears as though former IMPACT Wrestling stars Davey Richards and Angelina Love are no longer together. Love noted on her Instagram account that she and Richards have called it quits after adjusting her profile description to “Single Mama, Wrestler, 1st Ever 6x Knockouts Champion, Medical Esthetician, Actress & Student”
Love and Richards started seeing each other back in January of 2015 and were married in June of that same year. They welcomed their first child into the world, David Vincent Richards, back in March of 2016. Richards departed from IMPACT Wrestling this past July, and Love was granted her release form the company one month later.
This comes after GFW granted her husband, Davey Richards, his release last month so that he could pursue a medical career.
One of the founding members of the Knockouts division, Angelina started with the company in 2007. She would go on to form The Beautiful People with Velvet Sky and hold the Knockouts Championship a record-tying six times (along with Gail Kim). In January, she returned to the company for her fifth stint by aligning herself with Richards in a feud with Eddie and Alisha Edwards. The feud ended last month at Slammiversary XV, with Eddie and Alisha beating Davey and Angelina in a Full Metal Mayhem Match.
The latest episode of Impact introduced fans to Eddie Edwards’ wife Alisha (a/k/a Alexxis Nevaeh on the New England independent circuit), who along with Davey Richards and his wife, Angelina Love, was on hand to watch Edwards challenge Lashley for the TNA World Heavyweight Championship (both couples appeared together in a backstage segment before the match).
After nailing Lashley with the Boston Knee Party, Edwards went for the pin but Richards betrayed him by pulling the referee out of the ring. Meanwhile, Love attacked Alisha at ringside (they sat together watching the match). Lashley then hit Edwards with the Spear to keep the title.
Following the match, Richards choked out his former Wolves partner as Love forced Alisha to watch.
This angle has fans wondering whether Alisha is under contract to TNA and be a regular on Impact going forward. She noted to fans on Twitter, “Not yet.”
Alisha, who married Edwards two years ago, has been wrestling since 2006. She mostly wrestles for independent promotions in the New England area but has competed for TNA in the past (she lost to Awesome Kong on Impact in 2008 and got beat by Madison Rayne on the 2015 Knockouts Knockdown pay-per-view). She worked a match during last month’s marathon taping run at Universal Studios in Orlando, Florida. She faced Laurel Van Ness in a match taped for an upcoming episode of Xplosion.
The 34-year-old, who gave birth to a baby boy on Mar. 17, revealed Saturday that her contract with the promotion expired while she was pregnant and is now a free agent. She does, however, plan on returning to the ring in June.
9 days post delivery…this free agent will start posting videos soon of my workouts & return to the ring in June! pic.twitter.com/VGZerwH7ua
Love last wrestled in June, with her last appearance on Impact Wrestling taking place on Sept. 9. She was attacked backstage by members of The Dollhouse, who broken her arm in the storyline.
Love previously left the organization in 2012 and 2009. She has held the Knockouts Championship a record six times.
During Saturday’s WWE live event in Orlando, Florida at the Amway Center, an image of TNA Knockouts Angelina Love and Velvet Sky was briefly displayed on the big screen.
WWE was plugging hashtags for attendees to tweet about the show. Here are shots of the image from two attendees.
Love, who’s real name is Lauren Williams, began dating Richards in January. The couple announced their engagement on April 27, 2015, and were married on June 10, 2015.
