Coming out as transgender is one of the most difficult decisions of anyone’s life. Various wrestlers have previously come out as bisexual in front of the audience. They have made their lives better after coming out and have proved themselves courageous. Another such Superstar who transformed herself recently is former WWE Superstar Gabbi Tuft.
Gabbi Tuft Known as Tyler Reks during her WWE career, was involved in the company for several years before retiring from the sport. She was involved in various rivalries throughout her career, beginning her career at Florida Championship Wrestling (FCW). Before leaving the company in 2012, she teamed up with Curt Hawkins and was feuding in the tag team division, mostly in her career.
Reks recently became the first WWE Superstar to publicly transition into a trans woman. This move was highly applauded by the fans and various other Superstars. Gabbi Tuft currently works in marketing and is also working on a fitness website along with various other wrestlers. During an interview after officially coming out as a trans woman, Tuft talked about the experience she had during this time.
She stated how happy she truly is after coming out and is blessed to have such a life. Tuft stated, “Every morning I wake up, I choose happily, and I align myself and everything around me with things that bring me joy and gratefulness”.

Reks continues to captivate the audience with her bold interviews and positive lifestyle. The former WWE Superstar also hinted at a comeback recently after getting inside the ring for the first time since her retirement in 2014. She may look to return to the ring shortly.
Gabbi Tuft talks about her decision to transform
Her transition was certainly not very well appreciated by everyone, as she received a lot of trolls after her announcement. She talked about how it affected her life, but still, she did it to inspire the transgender community. “I don’t expect anyone to ever accept my journey, to change their views, to change their mind on how they feel about the transgender community,” said Gabbi.

She never took the hate she received from the audience and did it for her community. Being such a masculine beast in her early days, it was surely a tough task for the 45-year-old to do the unthinkable. She never gave up and achieved what she always wanted, despite anyone’s unnecessary hate.
