Gail Kim Clears Up 'AEW Contact' Reports Post-TNA Firing

Gail Kim has cleared up any supposed contact she had with All Elite Wrestling following her TNA firing in March.

The multi-time Knockouts World Champion recently got into an online spat when giving her opinions on deathmatch wrestling, and AEW star Riho, comments on the latter earning criticism from Kenny Omega. During this, a report stated that Kim had reached out to AEW about working together at some point but received no answer, with Kim taking to social media to deny the report:

“I don’t know you but this is a perfect example of someone lying and has zero integrity. At least when I say what I say, I’m saying what I feel and am truthful and will defend myself with facts. ZERO INTEGRITY here,” posted Kim on X/Twitter.

Kim would further post, “The real news about what happened with AEW since people will lie etc. I was saving it for interviews but oh well it’s now.I got one text from AEW when I was terminated from TNA. It was from Sonjay and inquiring more about whether I wanted to wrestle. I’m retired. End of story.”

Kim’s firing by TNA President Carlos Silva was an unpopular decision, with Kim subsequently going on to help out backstage at WWE NXT during a June NXT TV taping.
