Gail Kim has been making headlines lately about her recent comments related to AEW’s Riho. This has led to many buying into the constant tribalism that lives in the wrestling fandom. Journalist BJ Bethel, previously reported, “In the least breaking news, Gail Kim contacted several people about an opportunity at AEW at some point, longer than a couple weeks ago. No one reached out to her.”
Kim spoke on this recently and stated, “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.” She further explains by saying the following on the Massive Heat podcast.
“For you to blatantly lie like that. I would love to see the proof. Bring the proof. I have the proof of the text exchange that I had when I got fired from TNA, with AEW contacting me. It was very brief. A quick text from Sonjay (Dutt) just asking me if I was thinking about wrestling. I said, ‘I’m retired.’ I wasn’t interested in that. I’m retired. Why lie? It’s mind-blowing to me,” stated Kim. (Fightful/Transcript)
