TNA President Reinvigorates Knockouts After Gail Kim Dismissal

TNA President Carlos Silva explained that firing Gail Kim in March 2025 was part of a strategic effort to reinvigorate the locker room and the Knockouts Division, a move he described as one of the hardest decisions he had to make. Silva emphasized the need for change to sustain growth, noting that the company has since elevated new talent and improved morale despite initial backlash. However, Gail Kim publicly countered Silva's remarks on social media, asserting that she had been advocating for revitalizing the Knockouts Division for over a year prior to Silva's tenure and since Scott D’Amore's departure. She stressed her loyalty and passion for the division, disputing any implication that she was complacent or uninvolved. The firing of Kim, along with several other staff members, sparked controversy and speculation about her future, including potential moves to WWE or AEW. Overall, the situation highlights a tension between management's vision for change and Kim's longstanding commitment to the division she helped build.
