Tyson Kidd

Theodore James "TJ" Wilson (born July 11, 1980), also known by his ring name Tyson Kidd, is a Canadian retired professional wrestler that currently works for the WWE as a producer, after retiring from in-ring competition in 2017.

Wilson is from Calgary, Alberta and was the final graduate of the famed Hart Dungeon. He competed in his first match with Stampede Wrestling in Calgary at the age of fifteen in 1995. In the WWE, he was a former member of the wrestling stable, The Hart Dynasty along with David Hart Smith and Natalya. He is a three-time tag team champion (two-time WWE Tag Team Champion with Smith and Cesaro and one-time World Tag Team Champion with Smith, which was the last reign of this title).

He married Natalya in June 2013.

On June 7, 2015, it was announced that Wilson suffered a severe neck and spinal injury in a dark match with Samoa Joe on Raw. Wilson announced that he would be out for over a year. Wilson tweeted that 5% of people are able to survive his injury and that he had 16 staples, 4 screws and a rod inserted in his neck. Dave Meltzer of the Wrestling Observer Newsletter said "It is unbelievable that Tyson Kidd came through as well as he did", and said that most people who survive the injury end up being a quadriplegic.
