Gail Kim isnt sitting quietly while her contributions to TNA Wrestling get brushed aside.
Just one day after TNA President Carlos Silva publicly addressed her March 2025 firing, the Hall of Famer hit backreminding everyone shes been fighting for the Knockouts Division long before any reinvigoration talk under Silvas leadership.
On July 10, Kim took to Twitter/X with a two-part statement, clearly aimed at Silvas comments about restructuring the division. She made it clear she wasnt waiting around for anyone to take initiativeshe was the initiative.
Kim doubled down on her passion and weekly efforts, stating that no one should be questioning her loyalty to the brand or its womens roster.
This response followed Silvas appearance on The Ariel Helwani Show on July 9, where he was asked about Kims firing after 17 years with the company. He didnt pull punches, framing the move as part of a larger overhaul.
Silva admitted that letting Kim go was one of the hardest decisions hes madebut still defended it as necessary to shake things up.
He added that morale has been improving despite initial pushback from within the company.
When asked about locker room backlash, Silva didnt deny the emotional responseespecially after reports of talent being blindsided by her exit.
Kims firing in March came alongside the exits of Ariel Shnerner, Rob Kligman, and Michael Shewchenkopart of Silvas broader restructuring. But her dismissal drew the loudest internal backlash, with several TNA talents voicing frustration and even considering early exits once their contracts expire.
Known for being a fierce advocate behind the scenes, Gail Kim had long been viewed by many wrestlers and staff as a voice of reason and creativity, not someone holding the company back. With WWE and AEW both reportedly expressing interest, her next move may not just be a comebackit could reshape another companys womens division entirely.
Gail Kim didnt just respondshe reclaimed the narrative. Whether or not Silva agrees, the wrestling world just got a reminder of why her name still carries weight.
