Sadie Gibbs explained that she had endured a "confusing" past year and a half and was ready to let go of wrestling to pursue the next step in her career.

Gibbs revealed in a lengthy statement that she wants to focus on building her 'UNDEFINABLE' brand. Gibbs aspires to be a successful life coach, and she has several plans for her brand with the noble intention of inspiring people.

Sadie Gibbs noted that she wants to make short films and is even working on a self-development book. Gibbs wishes to convey the 'UNDEFINABLE' mentality to the masses, and the former AEW Dark competitor thanked all the members of her team before ending the statement.

Sadie Gibbs' wrestling career, AEW stint, and what lies ahead in the future

youtube-cover

Sadie Gibbs began wrestling in 2017, and after working for various promotions for two years, she signed a contract with AEW in May 2019.

Gibbs made her AEW debut at All Out 2019 as part of the Women's Casino Battle Royale. Gibbs wrestled in just three matches in AEW as the COVID-19 pandemic led to unforeseen travel issues across the pro-wrestling circuit. AEW eventually released the London-based wrestler in August 2020 due to all the travel restrictions in place.

Before the pandemic hit, Gibbs had mentioned her desire to move to the United States to be more involved with the AEW project.

Gibbs' AEW run might not have panned out as expected, but the enterprising talent is now prepared to take her UNDEFINABLE brand to the next level, and we, at Sportskeeda, wish her nothing but the best for all her endeavors.
