Gabbi Tuft On Potentially Returning To Wrestling
In a recent interview with WrestleZone Managing Editor Bill Pritchard, Gabbi Tuft discussed potentially returning to the ring.
“[Wrestling is] definitely on the front of my mind. I’m working with Stanford University right now to get clearance. I did have open heart surgery in July 2019,” Tuft explained. “So we are reviewing scans currently. Hopefully, this week, I will know if I’m 100% clear to start taking bumps again.”
“I would say I don’t want to open that book or give a preview before its time. But if it was a book on a shelf, and you pull it off, and you looked at the cover,” Gabbi explained. “We all know that covers really enticing, but you flip it over, and you read the summary on the back. Let’s just say there’s definitely an open door right now. And it’s cracked, but I’m ready to kick it open. I don’t want to give anything away too soon. I want to make sure that if and when something actually does happen that the world is watching.”
