Velvet Sky Reveals Why She Retired from Pro Wrestling

While appearing on Hannibal TV, Velvet Sky revealed why she retired from professional wrestling and mentioned that her decision had to do with her wanting to have good health long-term.

“I wrestled for fifteen years and as a wrestler, we all have a shelf life, so I mean, after fifteen years of bumping and getting thrown around the ring, I decided that I want to be able to stand up straight and be healthy when I’m sixty, so I just knew that it was my time. I had so much fun in my career, traveled the world, met awesome fans, wrestled in so many memorable matches you know? Now I’m just a fan of outside the ring.”

Since retiring, Sky has been working as a personal trainer but still goes out and does wrestling appearances.

“I’m a personal trainer. I do personal training out of Connecticut and I love the wrestling business. I love going out and meeting the fans still. So I’m retired from in-ring action — I still go out and do comic-cons and wrestling shows and conventions and stuff, meet all the awesome fans — Just don’t get physical anymore, so between traveling and personal training that’s kinda what’s going on with me right now.”
