For WWE fans, they might not know the name Gabbi Tuft too well. Instead, they could know her as Tyler Reks. For several years, starting in 2008, she was part of the WWE roster. She did little, outside of teaming with Curt Hawkins for about a year. Still, Tuft continues to make headlines after deciding to transition.
As expected, the decision was met with a mixed reaction. There were people happy for her and others who believe transitioning is an illness. Some have no opinion. In pro wrestling, it is strange for people to care. We are watching scripted shows, where a man super kicking a woman is not the worst thing in the world. Outside of pro wrestling, it would be frowned upon. Hence, why pro wrestlers and their fans are so unique.
Gabbi Tuft Vs Rhea Ripley In WWE?
Since leaving WWE in 2012 and undergoing changes, Tuft only wrestled once. That took place a few months ago for West Coast Pro, where Tuft defeated J-Rod. She went on social media and asked who she should wrestle next. When WWE’s Rhea Ripley was named, Tuft showed great excitement replying, “that would cook” with a heart emoji that looks to be on fire.
For now, I cannot see WWE making an offer. All it would create is a publicity stunt. Now, if they offered a contract for a year or more, then I could see it happening. Rhea has been busy since returning from injury. Now that she is no longer in The Judgement Day or with Dominik Mysterio, she can focus on regaining her title from Liv Morgan. So, would you want to see Gabbi Tuft vs Rhea Ripley inside a WWE ring?
