In February 2021, former WWE wrestler Tyler Reks announced that he’s a woman now, as he underwent a transgender transformation.
His real name was Gabe Tuft, which was turned into Gabbi Tuft.
In an essay written for Insider, Gabbi revealed dropping 190 lbs to achieve the transformed look.
During an interview with Steve Fall of Wrestlingnewsco, Gabbi was asked about the possibility of returning to the ring at the upcoming Royal Rumble 2024 PLE, and here’s the response:
“Well, the possibilities of returning to the ring are absolutely endless. I did go by Dustin’s and I did hop in the ring. I didn’t bump. I didn’t run the ropes. There’s just a moment where I was there visiting him saying hi, talking to him, and I said, ‘Hey, buddy, do you think I stick a toe in the ring?’
They were doing their weekly YouTube taping and he said, ‘Yeah, come on, let’s go’, and the second I stepped in that ring, 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. So I did have heart surgery in 2019 at Stanford. I had an aortic aneurysm. It’s genetic. My mom had it done a year before me, and actually on the 28th of this month, Stanford is reviewing all of 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, 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 to just poke my head in?”
