Former NXT UK talent Jinny has announced her in-ring retirement after dealing with a long-term injury.

London-born Jinny began her wrestling career with PROGRESS Wrestling in 2015. She also competed for RevPro and various indie promotions.

Signed by WWE in 2018, she took part in that year’s Mae Young Classic, where she was eliminated in the first round by Toni Storm.

Later in 2018, she was announced as part of the roster of the newly created NXT UK brand.

She has not wrestled since an NXT UK taping held on November 18th, 2021, for an episode that aired in January 2022.

In her message posted to Twitter on Saturday, the 35-year-old confirmed that she had been dealing with an injury “for a long time”.
