WWE Superstar Carlito recently took to social media to react to a popular 29-year-old star's massive update after his life-threatening injury. In his post, the star also mentioned if he would ever wrestle again.

TNA star Chris Bey last competed inside the squared circle in a dark match on October 27, 2024. He teamed up with Ace Austin to lock horns with Jeff Hardy and Matt Hardy for the TNA World Tag Team Championship. However, during the match, Bey suffered a horrific neck injury which left him paralyzed inside the ring. The star was feared to be paralyzed for life and a GoFundMe page was set up for his medical expenses.

Following this, the star needed immediate surgery. However, he recently took to X/Twitter to update his fans on his situation. In his post, Chris Bey revealed that the doctors had told him he only had a 10 to 25% chance of ever walking again. Bey also mentioned that after a lot of therapy, he was now learning to walk but was held off saying if he would ever wrestle again.

"For 3 weeks I'v been out of my wheelchair learning to walk again. Nothing is impossible, you just have to believe and do the work. I thank god every second. I thank you every second. Will I ever wrestle again? Never say never. I'm just so grateful to be alive. I don't know what my purpose is, but I know there's something meant for me to do. For now I just hope to continue to heal as my body is still in a lot of pain. It's going to be a long road, but I will not give up. This will be the Greatest Story Ever Told. I love you all," he added.
