BACKGROUND ON GAIL KIM'S TNA DEPARTURE AND WHERE SHE'S HEADING

Former TNA Knockout champion Gail Kim will be heading back to World Wrestling Entertainment, according to several WWE sources.  From what I am told, it was a pretty sizeable offer so I'd expect her to be pretty heavily in the Diva mix when she debuts.

Kim's contract with TNA was coming up, so once it expires, she is free to start working for WWE.   I was told the decision was completely a financial one, not anything stemming from unhappiness over how she was booked or presented by TNA, which made her the nucleus of their Knockouts division when it officially launched last year.

TNA sources indicate that Kim left on extremely good terms and as one person told me, the "door is always open".  I am told there was no heat over her departure.  Kim's final TNA appearance will be on tonight's Impact broadcast, facing TNA rival Awesome Kong in a Street Fight.
