#4 Divas Battle Royale –WWE RAW August 1, 2011
Michael Cole called it when he said the August 2011 Divas Battle Royale could be “a train wreck”. Gail Kim spent a better part of 2011 feuding with Melina, because of the latter’s claim that Kim was a “horrible friend”. On August 1, she participated in the WWE Battle Royale to determine the No. 1 contender for the next Divas Championship.
Within the first couple of minutes of the match, Kim uneventfully eliminated herself by just rolling out of the ring, making it one of the weirdest exits as well as last appearances on WWE television. But was it a planned twist in the tale? Certainly not.
She later openly admitted on various interviews that she was completely frustrated with WWE’s demands and decided to break kayfabe and end things with the company. WWE had asked her to get eliminated in the first minute of the match. Kim clearly did not like the idea and took matters in her own hand by eliminating herself.
