Natalya talked about Tyson Kidd's career ending injury
Recently, Natalya talked about her husband, TJ Wilson, who was famously known as Tyson Kidd during his WWE tenure. She remembered the injury that ended Tyson Kidd's career forever. Speaking on the “Insight with Chris Van Vliet” podcast, she discussed the following about the injury that ended the career of her husband;
“I knew TJ couldn’t move. Because Cesaro was trying to talk to him, and he [TJ] couldn’t move, he literally just wouldn’t. I knew he wasn’t okay. I knew by the way his hands, everything just was like almost curled for a split second. I don’t want to get too dramatic, but it didn’t look like a normal landing.

"His body just looked different. Sometimes if you hit a spider, they kind of curl up a little bit, it looked like he landed in a way that his body didn’t look natural and at ease. Because when TJ first landed, he was paralyzed for like 10 seconds, and so Claudio tried to grab him, to pull him out of the ring, and TJ said, ‘Don’t touch me. Don’t touch me.’

"And then after being paralyzed for 10 seconds, TJ was able to regroup. He got up, he launched himself out of the ring. And that’s the thing, is that when you saw the way that TJ was, and I write a lot about it, and I go into detail again, don’t want to give it all away, but when I saw how TJ was acting, he wasn’t acting like someone that broke his neck. When you think of somebody that is injured, they’re limping, they’re vulnerable, they’re crying. TJ was angry.” said Natalya
Tyson Kidd was one of the biggest prospects of WWE when he made his WWE debut, and he was mostly promoted as a tag team star during his early days. But in 2015, he suffered a neck injury while having a dark match with Samoa Joe, which ended his professional wrestling career forever. He presently works as a backstage producer in WWE.
