Gail Kim is one of the most well-known and accomplished female wrestlers of all time. She’s known for her excellent career outside WWE, but she also enjoyed her time in WWE over the past few decades.

Kim’s first run came in 2002 and lasted around two years where she went on to become the WWE Women’s Championship. She was regarded as the advocate for women’s wrestling and ensured that female Superstars got better opportunities on the big stage.

Kim was surprisingly released from her contract in 2004 after being told that the company wanted to take women’s division in another direction.

Gail Kim tried to revolutionize the status of women in WWE

She remained active on the indies before returning to WWE in 2008 for a second run, but it did not go as well this time around. She was stuck in some mediocre matches that took her nowhere, and she failed to win any titles during the second run.

Kim made headlines by walking out of the company during a Battle Royal and later revealed that the company wanted her to be eliminated in the first minute so she decided to eliminate herself.

She was forced by the company to complete the remaining time on her contract and was removed from their website on September 30, which marked her departure from WWE.
