“It’d Be a Big Risk”- Former IMPACT Champion Gail Kim Has Concerns Over Her Potential Return
Gail Kim is one of the most respected female wrestlers in the world, establishing her name in the history books through a great career filled with memorable matches with some of the best opponents in her grasp.
Although her career in WWE didn’t quite see her reach her full potential, like many others, she managed to thrive in other promotions. Most notably, her time in Impact Wrestling brought her up to the pedestals and fans noticed just how big a star she was.

Although her work in Impact continues as a producer, the veteran was offered a chance to return in the ring. However, Gail Kim turned down that tempting offer, mostly because she believes nothing can top her final match against Tessa Blanchard.

It’s a once in a generation talent like her who comes along number one, and they built the story so great,” Kim said, speaking on a virtual meet and greet hosted by The Asylum Wrestling Store.
