From late September 2014, Kidd started to win more main roster matches, while being flanked by Natalya, scoring wins on Main Event and Superstars over the likes of Kofi Kingston, Jack Swagger, R-Truth, and Sin Cara. There was storyline tension between Kidd and Natalya, due to Kidd at times neglecting his wife, and at other times using Natalya as a human shield or expecting her to illegally interfere in his matches.[100][101][102][103] On the November 3 episode of Raw, Kidd again used Natalya to score another win, this time via countout in a non-title match against United States Champion Sheamus.[104] On the November 14 episode of SmackDown, Kidd received a title opportunity for the WWE Intercontinental Championship in an elimination match with Cesaro and defending champion Dolph Ziggler, however he was unsuccessful.[105]

Kidd also competed in the André the Giant memorial battle royal, but was eliminated by Mark Henry. In April, Kidd and Cesaro reignited their feud against The New Day, where a double turn took place; Kidd and Cesaro turned into babyfaces by displaying a fighting spirit, while The New Day turned heel by using underhanded tactics during their matches. At Extreme Rules, Kidd and Cesaro lost the WWE Tag Team Championship to The New Day (Big E and Kofi Kingston), ending their reign at nine weeks.[111] They failed to regain the championships on the April 30 episode of SmackDown,[112] and at Payback in a 2-out-of-3 falls match, with Xavier Woods interfering in both matches.[113] At Elimination Chamber, Kidd and Cesaro competed in the first tag team Elimination Chamber match but they failed to win the titles. This turned out to be his final WWE televised match.[114]

Career-ending injury and producer role (2015–present)

[edit]

On June 1, 2015, Kidd suffered a spinal cord injury from Samoa Joe's "Muscle Buster" finishing maneuver during a dark match on Raw.[115] Several weeks later, WWE stated that he would be out of action for over a year.[citation needed] 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.[116] Discussing the injury, journalist Dave Meltzer said "It is unbelievable that Tyson Kidd came through as well as he did", and noted that most people who survive the injury end up quadriplegic, comparing it to Christopher Reeve's injury.[citation needed] Due to the injury, Kidd was forced to retire from in-ring competition but continues to work for WWE as a backstage producer.[117] Following his retirement, WWE would begin using his real name "TJ Wilson", to refer to him when it pertained to interviews on social media.

Personal life

[edit]

Wilson befriended Teddy Hart and Harry Smith at the age of ten; through them, he became close to the rest of the Hart wrestling family, with whom he lived with for several years.[9][118]

In June 2013, Wilson married Hart family member and fellow professional wrestler Natalya,[119] whom he had been dating and living with since November 2001.[18] Their relationship and wedding were featured on WWE's reality television series Total Divas.[120]

Wilson and his then-tag team partner Claudio Castagnoli (then known as Cesaro) revealed that although they were originally teamed by WWE without their input, they clicked personally and subsequently became very close real life friends.[121][122]

On the April 26 episode of Raw, Kidd and Smith defeated The Big Show and The Miz to capture the Unified WWE and World Tag Team Championship, marking the first time members of the third Hart generation held the promotion's top tag titles. Their 146-day reign included successful defenses, such as against The Usos at Money in the Bank in July 2010, where Natalya's interference helped secure the win in a hard-fought family rivalry match. The Hart Dynasty's championship run intersected with the emergence of The Nexus, as the invading faction repeatedly targeted the champions, including a brutal ambush that left them vulnerable and drew support from Bret Hart to reinforce their family ties. On the August 16 episode of Raw, Bret presented the group with redesigned bronze championship belts, symbolizing their place in Hart history. The reign ended on September 19 at Night of Champions in a Tag Team Turmoil match, where Kidd and Smith were eliminated by The Usos before Cody Rhodes and Drew McIntyre claimed the titles in the final fall. Tensions within the stable escalated post-loss, culminating in Kidd's heel turn on the November 15 "Old School" episode of Raw, where he abandoned Smith during a match against Heath Slater and Justin Gabriel, leading to the group's dissolution by late 2010.

NXT Redemption (2011–2012)

In early 2011, TJ Wilson, performing as Tyson Kidd, was assigned as a professional mentor to on the fifth season of WWE's NXT, titled NXT Redemption, which premiered on . This season featured a unique reality competition format where six previously eliminated rookies from prior NXT iterations returned for a second chance at a WWE contract, shifting the show from its original rookie-pro pairing structure to a redemption-themed challenge emphasizing weekly competitions and point standings. Kidd, paired with , participated in matches to support his rookie, including victories over and on April 19 and May 24, respectively, highlighting Kidd's agile offense and submission expertise. Cannon's tenure ended abruptly on the June 14 episode when he lost to by pinfall, resulting in his elimination as the third ousted from the competition with a 6-6 record and zero redemption points. Following Cannon's exit, Kidd adopted a more aggressive persona on NXT, engaging in post-match assaults on other competitors to assert dominance. For instance, after defeating on June 9, Kidd targeted Tatsu's leg with repeated stomps and claimed in a subsequent promo that Tatsu would no longer compete in , exacerbating their rivalry. He also vandalized Tatsu's personal shrine in a backstage segment, leading to Tatsu's vengeful victory over Kidd via roll-up on June 28. Kidd's heel turn fueled targeted attacks on other rookies, such as interfering in matches to disrupt undercard talent and positioning himself as a disruptive force amid the show's competitive environment. This period saw him involved in a brief with Curt Hawkins and Tyler Reks, culminating in singles bouts on NXT, including a loss to Hawkins on February 15, 2012, and a over Reks via springboard elbow drop on February 24, 2012. These encounters showcased Kidd's technical prowess, with submission holds like the often central to his offense. Throughout 2011 and into 2012, Kidd's NXT appearances provided a platform to rebuild his momentum as a solo competitor following the earlier dissolution of tag team. Notable victories included submissions over Trent Barreta on November 8, 2011, and on September 27, 2011, demonstrating his mat-based wrestling style and resilience in short, high-intensity bouts. In later reflections, Kidd expressed dissatisfaction with the NXT Redemption format's repetitive booking and limited creative input, viewing it as a challenging but necessary step in his main roster transition.

Midcard singles run (2012–2014)

Following his participation in the NXT Redemption season, Tyson Kidd transitioned to a full-time singles competitor on WWE's Raw and SmackDown brands in early 2012, aiming to establish himself in the midcard division with a focus on technical wrestling rooted in his Hart family training. He began the year as a face, securing wins in qualifying matches, including a victory over Jack Swagger on the June 29, 2012 episode of SmackDown to earn a spot in the Money in the Bank for the World Heavyweight Championship briefcase, though he did not win the bout. Kidd briefly repackaged in a short-lived with Justin Gabriel starting in August 2012, where the duo competed against established midcard pairs like on SmackDown and 3MB on Superstars and Main Event, emphasizing high-flying sequences and quick tags to highlight their athletic synergy before parting ways later that year. Shifting to a cocky persona, Kidd ignited a with Tensai after a stunning 19-second upset victory via elbow drop on the July 2, 2012 episode of Raw; Tensai retaliated with a brutal post-match beatdown, targeting Kidd's and selling an angle that positioned Kidd as a resilient technician overcoming adversity in subsequent encounters. This rivalry showcased Kidd's precision submissions and counters, culminating in additional competitive bouts on house shows and television. In 2013, Kidd pursued secondary championship opportunities, most notably challenging Antonio Cesaro for the United States Championship on the September 19, 2012 episode of NXT—where he fell short via neutralizer—and again on the October 31, 2013 NXT broadcast, losing after a hard-fought technical exchange that emphasized Cesaro's power against Kidd's mat-based offense. He also vied for the Intercontinental Championship through midcard contention, facing contenders like on the November 11, 2013 episode of Raw and November 22 Superstars taping, where his chain wrestling and springboard attacks drew praise for elevating the division's in-ring quality despite losses by pinfall. Kidd's booking emphasized credibility-building victories over enhancement talent such as Hunico on multiple October 2013 house shows via the submission, contrasting his occasional setbacks against upper-midcard heels like Jack Swagger and Damien Sandow. Entering 2014, Kidd surprised audiences with an unannounced entry into the Royal Rumble match on January 26 at number 12, lasting 53 seconds before elimination by Daniel Bryan after a series of eliminations and near-falls that highlighted his agility in the chaotic format. Throughout the year, he maintained steady midcard exposure on Raw, SmackDown, and Superstars, notching key wins over jobbers and lower-card opponents to solidify his role, including count-out victories over on the November 3 Raw and submission triumphs against on multiple November episodes via armbar. These performances, often featuring Plan-inspired holds like the figure-four , underscored Kidd's role as a reliable workhorse in pursuit of main event contention, though title opportunities remained elusive on the primary brands.

Teaming with Cesaro (2014–2015)

In late 2014, formed an impromptu during a #1 contender's gauntlet match on the December 1 episode of Raw, where they debuted against The New Day and showcased immediate synergy despite learning of the pairing only hours earlier via . Accompanied by Natalya, the duo adopted an arrogant, technically proficient anti-hero persona, emphasizing their international backgrounds and superior in-ring skills as they quickly rose through the tag division. Their partnership, which lasted exactly six months, was marked by seamless athletic chemistry, with Kidd's precise chain wrestling sequences complementing Cesaro's powerhouse offense to create fluid, high-energy matches that highlighted both performers' technical prowess. The team captured the WWE Tag Team Championship on February 22, 2015, at Fastlane, defeating the reigning champions in a hard-fought contest that ended Kidd's nearly five-year drought without gold. They successfully defended the titles in their next major outing during the kickoff show on March 29, retaining in a fatal four-way match against , Los Matadores, and The New Day through a combination of strategic tagging and highlight-reel maneuvers, including Cesaro's signature applied to multiple opponents. The reign, lasting 63 days, featured standout performances against The New Day, where Kidd's exceptional selling amplified Cesaro's strength-based attacks, helping to elevate the challengers' emerging heel dynamic while solidifying the champions' status as division workhorses. Their title run peaked with critically acclaimed bouts praised for innovative spots and pacing, though it concluded at Extreme Rules on April 26, 2015, when The New Day dethroned them in a standard match, ending the partnership on a high note amid growing individual opportunities. Throughout, Kidd played a pivotal role in showcasing Cesaro's potential as a main event talent by grounding their matches in crisp mat-based exchanges and reactive selling that made Cesaro's appear even more devastating.

Career-ending injury (2015)

On June 1, 2015, during a WWE house show dark match in San Antonio, Texas, TJ Wilson, performing as Tyson Kidd, sustained a severe spinal cord injury while competing against Samoa Joe. The incident occurred when Kidd landed awkwardly on his head and neck after taking Joe's Muscle Buster finishing maneuver, resulting in temporary paralysis from the neck down and immediate evacuation from the ring via ambulance. Medical assessments confirmed the injury as a critical compression of the spinal cord due to pre-existing spinal stenosis, placing him at high risk of permanent paralysis or death, with survival odds estimated at only 5 percent. Kidd underwent emergency cervical spinal surgery on June 25, 2015, at the C1-C2 vertebral level—the highest possible fusion site—to stabilize the damage, involving the insertion of a metal rod, four screws, and 16 staples.

For several months, neither leadership nor contacted Kidd regarding restitution or his professional future, leaving him to navigate the crisis independently. This silence exacerbated the emotional strain, as Kidd grappled with profound anger, depression, and a sense of lost purpose following the sudden termination of his wrestling aspirations, as recounted in his Natalya's 2025 memoir The Last Hart Beating. Furthermore, 's legal team sent Natalya a cease-and-desist letter denying aspects of narrative and threatening her termination if she discussed it publicly at work or criticized the company.
