Gabbi Tuft Discusses a Possible Return To The Ring
Former WWE star Gabbi Tuft recently weighed in on a potential return to the ring. Tuft worked in WWE from 2008 through 2012 under the ring name of Tyler Reks, and she spoke with Steve Fall for WrestlingNews.Co about her desire to make a return to the ring. You can see some highlights below, per Wrestling Inc:
On a possible return to the ring: “Yeah, well possibilities that me returning to the ring are absolutely endless. I did go by Dustin’s [Rhodes Wrestling Academy] and I did hop in the ring. I didn’t bump. I didn’t run the ropes. There just a moment where I was there visiting him, saying hi, talking to him. I said, ‘Hey buddy, you think I stick a toe in the ring.’ They were doing their weekly YouTube taping. He goes, ‘Yeah, come on, let’s go,’ and the second I stepped in that ring like my heart center just opened and I felt all this nostalgia come back. That was the moment when I was like, ‘Yep, I think I need to do something about this.'”
On undergoing heart surgery in 2019: “I did have a heart surgery in 2019 at Stanford. I had an aortic aneurysm, so it’s genetic. My mom had it done a year before me. Actually, on the 28th of this month, Stanford is reviewing all my scans to determine what, if any, limitations I have in the ring. So once I hear back from them, then we’ll know exactly what my capabilities are in the ring. I can tell you beyond a shadow of a doubt, I’m … something’s coming. I can’t tell you what, but something’s coming. As far as the Rumble, wouldn’t that be an amazing spot?”
