One woman who definitely won't be making a bold WWE return is Gail Kim. The one-time pioneer of TNA's Knockouts division has never made a secret about her dissatisfaction across two runs in the company, and she's retired now anyway. Kim's final match was against Kasey Owens on 3 February for Southside Wrestling in the UK.

Since then, she's taken up a role in Impact helping the female roster hone their craft.

Anyone looking to become important to that particular promotion would have to look long and hard to find someone more eligible to teach them how. Kim is rightly considered a TNA legend, and there's long been a belief amongst some fans that WWE failed to use her properly. It's too late now.
