Chris Bey walks to the ring, thanks crowd at FSW Benefit for Bey

For the first time since his injury in October, Chris Bey stepped inside a ring.
After Karrion Kross wrestled Hammerstone in a match during the Future Stars of Wrestling Benefit for Bey event on Sunday, Bey himself appeared in front of the crowd and walked down to the ring. Inside, Bey was met with chants of βBeyβs house,β with Swerve Strickland in the crowd agreeing. Bey said he loved everyone, including AJ Francis.
He then called out TNA tag team partner Ace Austin, who came to the ring as the two hugged.
βI love you, I thank you, I am nothing without you,β he told the fans in Las Vegas.
Bey underwent neck surgery in October after suffering a neck injury at a TNA Impact taping and recently spoke to Chris Van Vliet, going into detail about fusing his C6 and C7 vertebrae, as well as fusing his C6 to T1 through the back due to damage done to his neck and spinal cord.
βNever say never,β was Beyβs response after being asked about a possible return to the ring.
