Former WWE NXT UK wrestler Jinny announces retirement
Former NXT UK wrestler Jinny is stepping away from the ring.
More than a year removed from her last match, Jinny announced her retirement in a social media post on Saturday. Jinny said that, after being away for a long time due to injury, she’s made the decision to hang up her boots.
“After a long time away due to an injury, I have made the decision to hang up my fashionable boots,” Jinny wrote.
“Thank you for all the memories. I’ll remember that chapter for the rest of my life. Every journey has an end, but in life, every ending is just a new beginning. I’m excited about what’s next.”
Jinny was one of the most prominent women’s wrestlers on the United Kingdom indie scene before signing with WWE in 2018. She held the PROGRESS Wrestling Women’s Championship twice and Revolution Pro Wrestling’s Undisputed British Women’s Championship once. Her character was nicknamed “The Fashionista” both on the indies and in NXT UK.
Jinny last wrestled for NXT UK in November 2021. She’s married to WWE Intercontinental Champion Gunther.
