Tyson Kidd's WWE career came to an end after he suffered a serious neck injury during a dark match with Samoa Joe in 2015. Since then, he's gone on to become a producer behind the scenes in WWE, but with the likes of Daniel Bryan and Edge able to make their in-ring returns, fans frequently wonder whether Kidd could also step back into the squared circle.
"It’s funny, man, and I know it’s going to keep happening as different guys come back throughout the years," Kidd said when he joined Spencer Love on the Conversations With Love podcast. "Like, when Bryan (Daniel Bryan) came back, I got a lot of tweets and a lot of messages, and now with Edge, and now I get a lot including both of them. I get it. The difference is I just have a very different injury."
"I did, one time, over the past couple years look into maybe doing a little something in a Royal Rumble, just kind of as that, so that could be my last chapter, so the last time you see me is, y’know, this little thing, and it didn’t work out," he continued. "I did look into – I did get looked at, and things are good, but things are not at that level in terms of my neck, and y’know what? I’m at peace with everything."
"I haven’t wrestled in five years almost. June 1st, 2015 was my last match, and I’m at peace with it. I love what I do now, and being a part of working with the talent."
It sounds like Kidd is happy with his behind the scenes role in WWE these days, but it is a shame he was unable to make a comeback so he could end his career on his own terms. On the plus side, there's a lot he can still bring to the table, and he's currently heavily involved with the women's division.
