Tyler Reks would stand in the ring in front of thousands of people and perform his Burning Hammer without anyone suspecting what he was carrying inside. 🤼

Today, she is called Gabbi Tuft, is 42 years old, and told the world that she is a transgender woman. She competed on Raw, SmackDown, and WrestleMania, and in 2010 she was part of the team that won the Bragging Rights Trophy alongside Big Show and Rey Mysterio.

She left WWE to spend more time with her wife, Priscilla, and her daughter, never imagining that the following years would conceal the toughest struggle of her life.

Gabbi described the eight months leading up to her announcement as the darkest she has ever lived through, marked by anguish that nearly defeated her. Her family and closest friends supported her throughout the process, and one day after making it public, she told her complete story in an interview with Billy Bush in which she says that she finally feels like herself and is free to say what she feels and thinks.
