Tyson Kidd Addresses His In-Ring Future, Whether He’s Retired

Tyson Kidd, real name TJ Willson, has opened up on whether he has any intentions of returning to in-ring action. 

Kidd’s in-ring career was cut short due to a severe neck injury that nearly paralyzed him in 2017.

During a recent interview with McGuire On Wrestling, Kidd brought up having a long wrestling career before the injury. 

“Here’s what I don’t think people quite understand, but I wrestled close to exactly 20 years,” Kidd said. “I get where you see these things and think that it means I’m coming back, but the truth is, when you have something like that for such a long period of time, for me, wrestling was always a physical outlet… I feel like I needed to replace that physical outlet and I upped my time and intensity in the gym a little bit.”

Kidd made it clear that he’s done wrestling and is retired from in-ring action. 

“Yeah. It’s so funny, I answer this all the time and then people don’t believe it, and I understand why. We’ve seen so many other people say that they’re retired or whatever and they come back, and that’s great, that’s cool. It’s not in the cards for me. I have a different injury than most people.”
