IMPACT Knockout Hall of Famer and former seven-time Knockouts Champion Gail Kim will be returning the ring for one match this weekend.
At IMPACT 1,000 which will be taped on Sept. 9, Kim will be teaming with Trinity, Awesome Kong, Jordynne Grace, and one more mystery member to face the team of Angelina Love, Savannah Evans, Gisele Shaw, Deonna Purrazzo and another mystery member.
Kim talked recently with Sports Illustrated where she expressed her excitement and nervousness for the upcoming match. This will be her first match since 2019 when she faced Tessa Blanchard. This will also be Kong’s first match since retiring as well.
“This is the greatest passion in my life. I can’t wait to get back in the ring. I’m nervous, but I’m really excited, too. Tagging with Trinity, that gives me goosebumps. This is a dream match, and there are still surprises to come. I couldn’t have asked for a better match. It’s a great reason to wrestle again,” Kim said.
Kim has continued to work as a producer for IMPACT and has been seen on screen from time to time. Most recently she was at ringside for the match at Emergence where Trinity retained against Deonna Purrazzo.
“I didn’t even expect myself to be back, but it’s a special occasion. I found out about a month ago, and I get to work with amazing people. It’s going to be a celebration, a reunion, and some nostalgia that wrestling fans will love.”
She continued,
“I saw Kong not too long ago at ODB’s wedding, and she looked grea.t She said she was ready to scratch that itch and get back in the ring. Here we are, my greatest rival is about to become my greatest partner,” Kim said.
Diva Dirt will provide any further news and results from IMPACT 1,000 as they come about.
