Former WWE wrestler Gabbi Tuft came out as transgender this week, calling her personal saga a \u201cthrilling story of gender transitioning.\u201d<\/p>\n

Tuft \u2014 who wrestled professionally under the name Tyler Reks in the late 2000s and early 2010s \u2014 shared the news<\/a> in a press release<\/a> Thursday.<\/p>\n

The former WWE star also teased an extended interview set to air Friday on Extra.<\/p>\n

\u201cGabbi is about to share her thrilling story of gender transitioning from a former WWE Superstar, Body Builder, Fitness Guru, Motivational Speaker and Motorcycle Racer to a fun-loving and fabulous female,\u201d the release reads.<\/p>\n

\u201cShe has been finally set free and is ready to rule her world.\u201d<\/p>\n

Tuft, who was active in WWE from 2007-2014, seemingly revealed her transition<\/a> to fans on Instagram a day earlier, with a recent photo of herself sitting next to an old photo from her wrestling days.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is me. Unashamed, unabashedly me. This is the side of me that has hidden in the shadows, afraid and fearful of what the world would think; afraid of what my family, friends, and followers would say or do,\u201d the post was captioned.<\/p>\n

Since wrestling in the WWE, the 42-year-old started a fitness company called \u201cBody Spartan\u201d with her wife, Priscilla, with whom she has a nine-year-old daughter, Mia.<\/p>\n

Tuft wrote that the last eight months have been some of the darkest in her life, but credits her family for getting her through it.<\/p>\n

\u201cHowever, the day I stopped caring about what other people thought, was the day I truly became limitless and allowed my authentic self to come into the light,\u201d she wrote.<\/p>\n

\u201cMy loving wife, family, and closest friends have accepted me for who I am. To them, I am forever grateful. Your support along the way means more than you will ever know.\u201d\n <\/p><\/div>\n
