De Lander has given fans an update stating that Katch has to have surgery on her leg and will be staying in hospital overnight.
“Thank you for the support as always; she has a long road ahead and every dollar counts,” wrote De Lander.
WWE’s Chelsea Green sent along a message of support:
Being an Indy wrestler is so hard…
Staying relevant & presenting yourself as a star while making money that doesn’t always support those goals. Injuries can be career ending when it comes to juggling your passion with real life expenses.
If you’re blessed enough to be able to… https://t.co/NXB0Ee8Lgg— CHELSEA GREEN (@ImChelseaGreen) January 20, 2025
GCW mainstay and Green’s husband, Matt Cardona, also asked fans to give what they could to help:
Let’s come together and support @AllieKATCH!
She broke her leg last night in the middle of a match.
She’s going to have expensive medical bills and obviously won’t be able to wrestle to make money.
Allie’s one of the true hustlers on the indies. She’ll be back and better… pic.twitter.com/vP4NmC0NvN

Katch was injured minutes into a match with Effy. She landed awkwardly diving through the ropes to the floor. The match had to called and the event was halted for approximately 15 minutes while another ambulance was readied in case anyone else was injured on the card as per the New York State Athletic Commission’s rules.
Katch herself responded to the outpouring of support:
I feel the love and I am so grateful, it’s the light in this very scary and uncertain time. Forever in debt to Steph for taking care of me and thank you to all who have reached out. I’ll have more to say and update later but I am so tired and hangry yall!!! https://t.co/jrHd8C86Hf
