WWE Superstar Natalya discusses Tyson Kidd's in-ring future

WWE Superstar Natalya recently explained why her husband, Tyson Kidd, would never return to the squared circle.

In an interview with Sportskeeda Wrestling's Senior Editor Bill Apter, The Queen of Harts detailed how Kidd's neck injury wouldn't allow him to set foot inside the ring again. She further highlighted the severity of the damage and how it had restricted Kidd's motion.

“He just can’t be cleared. He can never return because he could die in the ring. TJ broke his neck at the same place where Christopher Reeves broke his neck. The injury is called a Hangman fracture. TJ broke his neck at the base of his brain. Where they had to fuse his neck together, it took away about 50% of his range of motion. So, he doesn’t have the same range of motion as everyone else, so it wouldn’t allow him to take bumps safely. He could really endanger his life.” [0:29 onwards]
