Gail Kim would like to see Fire N' Flava clash for Knockouts Gold.
"The Forbidden Door." It was a term coined by Hiroshi Tanahashi to describe what would happen if AEW talent were once again allowed to compete in New Japan Pro Wrestling after their creation. eventually, "The Forbidden Door" came to describe every instance of a talent working for a promotion outside of their regular home base. For a brief while, Tony Khan was calling himself "The Forbidden Door" in promos airing on IMPACT Wrestling television.
Now, the talks of a potential AEW x IMPACT Wrestling match have surfaced once again.
On the latest episode of the Battleground Podcast, Gail Kim was asked about the potential of current champion, Tasha Steelz, defending her title against current AEW star and former IMPACT Knockouts Tag Team Champion partner of Tasha, Kiera Hogan. Hogan left IMPACT Wrestling to join AEW and Gail Kim says that is one match she would like to see and doesn't rule it out as a possibility in the future.
“I mean, I think it's a definite dream of theirs,” Kim says. “You know, the success they had as a tag team. Their chemistry was undeniable. So it was kind of a bittersweet moment when Kiera moved on, and I think the fans were actually — I remember, the fans being so stunned, I mean, their faces, their mouths are just wide open, like what's happening right now, because they were on this major momentum and, but it's great to see, you know, sometimes things are just meant to be in terms of your path in this business. Without that happening, then Tasha would probably never be Knockouts Champion, so you never know what the future holds. I know that they're dear friends to this day. So, who knows? We might see Kiera Hogan back and you might see that title match. That would be great.”
For now, Kiera Hogan is a baddie in AEW alongside Jade Cargill and Red Velvet.
Meanwhile, Tasha is focused on making history as the first woman to defend the Knockouts Championship in a Queen of the Mountain match at Slammiversary. Fans can check out the full card here.
