- In October 2024, Chris Bey suffered a neck injury during a match for TNA Wrestling that, for a time, left the former tag team champion paralyzed.
Bey has since regained motion in his body and has made a handful of appearances for TNA, including as part of TNA Unbreakable in April 2025.
In a statement shared on social media, Bey opened up about his recovery and how it has been difficult for him emotionally as well as physically. He wrote,
“I cried yesterday… let me explain.
“Last week I went down to the dungeon 2.0. I had an amazing time and witnessed some amazing things. So grateful for the invite.
“Then it hit me hard this week.
“A bunch of my friends are signing to new promotions or doing cool things in their promotions, friends doing well in the indies. TNA moved over to AMC. I’m still struggling to get out of bed daily.
“In the gym yesterday in the middle of my workout I just broke down. Tears flowed through my eyes like they haven’t in a few months. I couldn’t help but think “Where would I be if I didn’t get hurt?”.
“Eventually, I wiped my eyes and picked up the dumbbells and did my next set. Continued to complete my workout.
“It’s okay to be transparent and vulnerable, it’s okay to feel. It’s not okay to give up.
“I love you all.”
Ace Austin, a long-time tag team partner of Bey, has since joined AEW, but left with the blessing and support of Bey.
