TNA has undergone major changes recently, with several key talents and backstage staff leaving the company. One of the most surprising departures was Gail Kim, and now more details have emerged about her firing.
As reported earlier, TNA Wrestling officially announced the departuresof Gail Kim, Ariel Shnerner, Rob Kligman, and Michael Shewchenko. Many within the company were shocked and disappointed by Kims departure, with over a dozen talents expressing frustration. Some even saw this as a reason to leave once their contracts expired, while others felt uneasy about their job security.
It was noted that Kim was known for speaking up about creative decisions and pushing for improvements, particularly in the Knockouts division. While some expected her departure due to her outspoken nature, many believed her efforts to enhance the product were valuable.
The backlash to Kims firing has been even stronger than the reaction to Scott DAmores exit last year. While public responses have been loud, private discussions within TNA have reportedly been even more intense.
Both AEW and WWE are expected to show interest in Kim, with some already advocating for her recruitment. Gail Kim has confirmed that she intends to stay involved in the wrestling industry.
A longtime TNA member believes these firings show big changes in Anthems leadership. Losing DAmore, Kim, and Josh Mathews suggests there is still a lot of instability. With TNAs leadership constantly changing, things feel uncertain. TNA President Carlos Silva reportedly decided to fire Kim, only saying it was due to changes, which led to an immediate backlash against him.
Gail Kim leaving TNA is a big change for the company and has fans questioning its future. With AEW and WWE as possible options, many are curious about what she will do next.
