"The Fashionista" calls it a career
Former NXT UK performer Jinny announced her retirement from professional wrestling in posts to her social media on Saturday.
Jinny wrote, "After a long time away due to an injury, I have made the decision to hang up my fashionable boots. Thank you for all the memories. I'll remember that chapter for the rest of my life. Every journey has an end, but in life, every ending is just a new beginning. I'm excited about what's next."
Jinny's last match took place on November 18, 2021, a win over Amale on an NXT UK broadcast.
