Former WWE NXT UK Superstar Jinny has announced her retirement from professional wrestling. She made the following announcement on her Twitter account:
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 for them forever.
Every journey has an end, but in life, every ending is just a new beginning. I'm excited about what's next ? pic.twitter.com/XNJyDyRjPJ— Jinny (@JinnyCouture) January 14, 2023
Jinny made her debut in 2015, first for PROGRESS. She competed for the promotion until 2021, and in May 2018, she was crowned PROGRESS Women’s Champion. She successfully defended the title against Dakota Kai before losing it to Jordynne Grace.

The *nuclear* heat this woman generated in the Tivoli had to be seen to be believed. A properly brilliant performer. Here’s to the next adventure. https://t.co/0t7GqdVlEV
