It’s been a really confusing year and half for me, but I’ve always been good at following my instinct and letting go AND HAVING NOTHING BUT GRACE IN THE PATH AHEAD OF ME.

Gibbs made her pro wrestling debut in November 2017, working on the British independent circuit. She started gathering considerable attention in 2019, when, during a tour of Japan, gifs of her highly-athletic in-ring escapades went viral, including one showing her spectacular version of the Sasuke Special.

AEW picked Gibbs up in May 2019, though she made only a handful of appearances for the promotion, with her last match going down on a November 2019 episode of Dark. The onset of the global health crisis and its myriad travel restrictions complicated Gibbs' wrestling career, and she was let go by AEW in August 2020.

All the best to Sadie in her new venture.
