A former WWE star recently came out of retirement. The name in question is Gabbi Alon Tuft (fka Tyler Reks). She recently addressed potentially replacing The Young Bucks in AEW.

The former FCW Florida Heavyweight Champion had been inactive for 10 years until recently. She had her return match against J-Rod at the Killing Them Softly crossover event produced by the United Wrestling Network and West Coast Pro Wrestling on June 25, 2024.

The match hasn't been aired online, but Tuft shared some highlights of the bout on her social media profiles. She said the contest went on for 19 minutes and revealed that it would be released online shortly.

Seeing the highlights of her bout, a fan on X/Twitter tweeted that Tony Khan should fire The Elite and appoint the returning star as the new EVP of the promotion. Tuft reacted to the post and wrote:

New Champs in WWE! More RIGHT HERE

"Mother is here to lead the entire roster to salvation…"

Gabbi Alon Tuft addresses potential WWE signing

Gabbi Tuft had been teasing her return to pro wrestling for months before wrestling her first match since 2014 on June 25. Following a successful in-ring comeback, wrestling fans are expecting her to join a major promotion soon.

A fan recently tagged Triple H and Shawn Michales in their tweet on X/Twitter, asking the Hall of Famer to hire the former Tyler Reks to WWE. The six-foot-two-inch star noticed the post and reacted to it, expressing her desire to join the global wrestling juggernaut.

"My children are speaking…"

Gabbi Tuft worked for WWE from 2008 to 2012. During her time in the company, she wrestled on RAW, SmackDown, and NXT.

Tuft is also interested in becoming a part of the All Elite Wrestling roster. In February 2024, she shared a clip of herself attending an AEW event. It will be interesting to see what's next for her in pro wrestling.
