Chris Bey walks to the ring, thanks crowd at FSW Benefit for Bey

Posted on by Bryan Rose

For the first time since his injury in October, Chris Bey stepped inside a ring.

After Karrion Kross wrestled Hammerstone in a match during the Future Stars of Wrestling Benefit for Bey event on Sunday, Bey himself appeared in front of the crowd and walked down to the ring. Inside, Bey was met with chants of β€œBey’s house,” with Swerve Strickland in the crowd agreeing. Bey said he loved everyone, including AJ Francis.

He then called out TNA tag team partner Ace Austin, who came to the ring as the two hugged.

β€œI love you, I thank you, I am nothing without you,” he told the fans in Las Vegas.

Bey underwent neck surgery in October after suffering a neck injury at a TNA Impact taping and recently spoke to Chris Van Vliet, going into detail about fusing his C6 and C7 vertebrae, as well as fusing his C6 to T1 through the back due to damage done to his neck and spinal cord.

β€œNever say never,” was Bey’s response after being asked about a possible return to the ring.

WWE wrestler Karrion Kross will work his first indie show since 2022 and for a good cause.

On Wednesday, Kross was announced as competing at the Future Stars of Wrestling Beynefit for Bey show — an event set for Sunday, March 23rd in Las Vegas, Nevada, that will aim to raise money for Chris Bey who is still recovering from being paralyzed after an in-ring accident last October.

Kross’ opponent has not yet been revealed. It will be his first non-WWE match since taking on Davey Boy Smith at July 2022’s Ric Flair’s Last Match event.

Bey and Kross have wrestled against each other three times before, the last time taking place in June 2019 in FSW that Bey won.

Kross joins former AEW World Champion Swerve Strickland, current AEW wrestler Brian Cage, and TNA’s Trey Miguel as those who have been announced for the event which will stream live on Triller+.

Bey recently posted his first update since the accident in TNA, detailing what happened, his rehab and recovery thus far, and sharing a video of him standing up and walking which is something he said he was given between a 10-25% chance to do.
