The Fashionista took to Twitter over the weekend to announce that she's decided to hang up her boots, detailing how this decision comes after a "long time away" from the ring due to injury.

Having made her in-ring debut in 2015, Jinny soon became a favourite of the European independent scene, notably winning the RevPro Women's Championship and the PROGRESS Women's Championship (twice).

Jinny made her WWE bow back in 2017, competing as part of WrestleMania AXXESS during the weekend of WrestleMania 33. She would then be an entrant in the second Mae Young Classic the following year, before being a part of the NXT UK brand when that formally launched in 2018. The final match of the 35-year-old's career came on the 27 January 2022 episode of NXT UK, where she picked up a victory over Amale.
