Tyson Kidd was among a list of a handful of fast-rising mid-carders in WWE around the 2010s. He managed to make a name for himself as a tag team wrestler, and along with Cesaro and Natalya, created a really good faction.

In 2012, Wrestling Observer Newsletter named Kidd the Most Underrated Wrestler, and the Superstars won the WWE Tag Team Championships thrice in a short time.

At a time when there was no stopping Kidd from rising up the cards, a "Muscle Buster" from Samoa Joe halted his progress. Kidd suffered a spinal cord injury during a dark match on Raw in June 2015 against Joe, and the move rendered him bedridden.

Even though the company stated that Kidd would be out for a year, Kidd tweeted that only 5% of people survive his injury and that he had 16 staples, four screws, and a rod inserted in his neck.

Thankfully, Kidd made a recovery and has since taken on a safe role as a backstage producer for the company.
