Jinny Reveals Why She Decided To Retire

After over a year out of action due to injury, Jinny announced her retirement as an in-ring talent in January 2023.

The former NXT UK talent has now revealed why she decided to retire, telling Ring The Belle:

"So when I was injured, this was actually the longest time that I had been out with any injury. During the time of being injured and having the symptoms, I was just like, 'Wow, this is just taking so long for my body to heal.' The injury that I actually had, it was a concussion. Unfortunately, I took quite a few blows to the head, and it was the worst one I ever had. Halfway through, I was like, 'If my body is taking this long to heal, if I get hit again, is it going to take even longer?' I just had to be smart about it. I love wrestling. I'm a wrestling fan, I always will be. It was a really hard decision because if it wasn't for that, would I be wrestling still? Yes. But your health is wealth. And as difficult as it is, and as much as I love this business and as much as I was like, 'Maybe I'll be okay,' I had to be smart about it and make sure that I look after myself, not just for now, but in the long run as well."

Jinny revealed that she is healed and cleared for an in-ring return but she doesn't plan on coming out of retirement for a full-time run. She didn't rule out having a retirement match, however.

After competing on the British independent wrestling scene for the likes of RevPro and PROGRESS, Jinny signed with WWE and competed on NXT UK. She is married to WWE Intercontinental Champion GUNTHER.
