During theTNA Wrestling tapings after Bound for Glory on October 27, Chris Beysuffered a serious neck injury near the end of a tag team match, which worried many fans. It has been several months since he suffered that injury and now Bey has revealed that he is finally able to walk again, making a breakthrough in his recovery journey.
Chris Bey took to Twitter and uploaded a video of himself finally being able to walk after his neck injury. Bey noted that he turned 29 and said he was grateful to be alive. He talked about the serious injury he got on October 27, 2024, at a TNA event in Detroit. He was in the ring with his partner Ace Austin and his idols The Hardys, when everything changed.
During the match, he tried to stand up but couldnt move. He was paralyzed in the middle of the ring. He felt ashamed, embarrassed, and scared. Thankfully, TNAs ringside doctor and medical team acted fast. He was rushed to a hospital, where doctors performed surgery to fuse his neck at C6-C7 and his spinal cord at C6-T1. He believes that if it werent for TNAs quick response, he might not be here today.
The next day, Bey woke up surrounded by love and support from his family and the wrestling community. But he was also devastated. His lifelong dream and eight-year wrestling career seemed over.
Doctors told him there was only a 10-25% chance he would ever walk again. He had no use of his hands, which was why he couldnt post or respond to messages. He spent a week in the ICU, then 50 days in a rehab facility in Detroit, doing therapy six days a week for hours each day. On December 28th, he was finally able to go home.
Since then, he has been working hard in therapy, supported by his family, his TNA family, and the medical staff who helped him. He is especially grateful to his brother Ace Austin, who never left his side, and his girlfriend Brittnie Brooks for supporting him through his lowest moments.
The TNA star thanked everyone who reached out, donated, bought his merch, prayed for him, or even just thought about him. Their support kept him going, even on the hardest days. He believes he has lived his dream and inspired others to chase theirs.
At the moment, Chris Bey is celebrating life and making progress. For the past three weeks, Bey has been out of his wheelchair, learning to walk again. He believes nothing is impossible with hard work and faith.
Bey doesnt know if he will ever wrestle again, but he refuses to say never. Right now, his focus is on healing, as he is still in pain. It will be a long journey, but he is determined to keep going.
This is obviously incredible news for Chris Beys fans as its clear he will not be giving up no matter what, as he is taking his time and making sure he will eventually make his way back to the ring.
