On X, Gail Kim recently spoke about how misogyny was not talked about enough in the pro wrestling industry. She wrote:

“THIS. 100%. ACCURATE. Definitely seeing more women bringing this up lately and I’m glad. We don’t talk about it, it won’t change.”

Afterwards, a fan asked her if she herself had faced issues due to misogyny. To this, Gail Kim laughed and stated that she had.

“lol I was in a male dominated industry for almost 25 yrs. I would say so.”

The former WWE champion is not opposed to a return

While Gail Kim is not very active in the ring anymore, she is open to a return down the line if circumstances are right.

Speaking in an appearance on The Toronto Sun, the former WWE star noted that she would consider coming out of retirement, but not for a random match.

“I guess, I would say never say never, but it would have been something really, really special. For me to get conditioned for a full match, I don’t think people realize how hard it is to train for the cardio of a professional wrestling match… Also, the last thing, which is the more important thing, I care about my legacy. I care about my body of work that I left behind and what fans remember of me. If I’m coming out of retirement, this is going to be the last thing they remember,” Kim said.

As of now, it remains to be seen if a worthwhile match will ever be presented to Gail Kim to convince her to return.
