Hemme retired from in-ring competition in December 2009 due to a severe neck injury. Since then, there have been rumors on social media that Christy suffered a career-ending injury while taking a maneuver from AJ Styles during a private training session. However, Christy is finally putting the rumors to rest. During the conversation, she revealed that the neck injury happened during her televised match against former TNA Knockouts World Champion Awesome Kong.

Christy Hemme debunks the longstanding rumor about AJ Styles ending her career

“Where did the training story come from?! Poor AJ is like, ‘Why did I have to be the one that ended your career?’… I remember I was in a match with Kong. I got thrown into the turnbuckle and going numb from the neck down… And then I came out of it, and then I got thrown again into the turnbuckle, and it happened again. It was stuck a little bit longer. And I was like, ‘Oh my gosh, I,’ and I just remember thinking, this is really serious. ‘… And that’s when I went and got my MRI, and I had two protrusions in my spine that were sitting on my spine. You can’t wrestle with that. Like, that’s the kind of thing where if I had been thrown a little harder… it could have severed my spine, and I’d be paralyzed. So I had to stop completely.” [H/T: WrestlingNews.Co ]
