Former AEW wrestler Sadie Gibbs announced on Instagram that she is returning to the ring.
Gibbs has not wrestled since the October 30, 2019 episode of the now canceled Dark. She departed AEW back in August of 2020 after the UK native had travel restrictions preventing her from traveling into the United States to work for the company.
Gibbs then announced her retirement on April 26, 2021, stating that she wanted to focus on her fitness career.
She noted in her Instagram post that in the last two years she has undergone two major surgeries – removal of a five-centimeter tumor from her right ovary – and other was to repair issues caused by endometriosis. The gynecological issues was the result of blood pressure drops that started while she was still wrestling.
Gibbs further noted that she will be partnering with Envigor Media to produce a documentary on her return to the ring
SO IT HAS BEEN FAR TO LONG!
But I can’t get this chapter of my life, out my heart!I will be doing a documentary on my RETURN (yup I said it my RETURN) with @envigormedia
Truth is the pandemic (which end of 2022 only really started to feel like life was free to grasp again) took its effects on all on us one way or another for me I think without knowing it (I had another journey to take) in the last two years I’ve had a a couple of opps one where I had a 5cm inactive tumour (known as a dermoid) removed from my right ovary and endometriosis also diagnosed and removed.
I started suffering with sideeffects of this in my first year of being with AEW having vagal syncopes randomly and dangerously low blood pressure drops during these episodes.
Basically LIFE Happens! And TIME is needed where HEALING can occur my journey in wrestling all happened so fast it was one hell of a rollercoaster including my first ever major family loss (as many know about) then being signed one week prior to the funeral ❤️🩹 a year later planing my move to the STATES all packed ready to leave & we hit our first national lockdown 🔒 💭” it’s fine be over in a few months” 6 months later no change and my release took place from @aew a contact I gave my heart and soul to gain! But if I’m being honest I wasn’t ready for it,but that’s another thing are we ever truly ready for what life throws at us? No we level up and grow despite what healing needed to take place inbetween we suck it up and know how blessed we are to have the opportunity.
I’ve been toying with the thought of getting back wrestling (I honestly feel like I went through a breakup with the business, and my craft that I worked so hard to create to that point ) I shut it out and got on with life SURVIVAL INSTINCT!and embarked on a journey which has now brought me back to this point! THE TRUTH! I’ve never stopped talking about performing the art of wrestling and everyone always says I have so much passion when I do. But it’s something I suppressed and I’ve never thought I’d say this about myself but the path back looked harder than the path away so I guess I just rolled over and called it retired.Let the hard work begin….
