Then: Former Hart Dynasty man Tyson Kidd got 53 seconds of ring time at the 2011 Rumble. He'd bounce around the lower card for a few years before forming an underrated tag with Cesaro. Later, in 2015, he suffered a serious spinal cord injury when bumping for Samoa Joe's 'Muscle Buster' move.

Now: People feared for Kidd's life, never mind his career, following that injury. He has made a stunning recovery though, and is in insane shape. Now 40, Tyson has also been teasing an in-ring return at some point. That'd be an emotional one for him.

Bring it on.
