To the surprise of many, Velvet Sky made her return to professional wrestling back at the ROH-NJPW G1 Madison Square Garden show after retiring from in-ring competition back in 2016.
With Sky now in Ring of Honor, it’s only natural to assume that the former TNA/Impact Knockouts champion would make a return to the ring sometime soon; however, Sky makes it clear on Wrestling Epicenter's Interactive Wrestling Radio that she’s sticking to her retirement for the same reasons as before (transcript of figthful.com):
“My decision to stay retired still stands. Like I've said, I've put my body through a lot in my 17 years of wrestling. There comes a point in every professional wrestlers career and their life where you look at the future more and you're like, "OK, enough is enough!"
"I don't want to be decrepit and crippled for the rest of my life. I want to be healthy and keep my body health. Still, to this day, I'm still rehabilitating my body, my spine. I still feel residual effects from my time in the ring. My focus is to be the mouth-piece, the manager, of the Allure and directing traffic as Mandy and Angelina are the ass-kickers of the group!"
