Jarrett went on to say that Kim was the dragonslayer in her feud with Kong. The WWE Hall of Famer said that the promotion added more talent to the story as it progressed, which ultimately resulted in a “hot” division and “great ratings,” with “show stealers” on television and pay-per-view. With Kim ultimately rising to the top of the Knockouts division, Jarrett mentioned that he had different conversations with Bob Carter, the former owner of Panda Energy, which previously owned the Nashville, Tennessee-based promotion, about Kim possibly leaving to rejoin WWE.

“‘Bob [Carter], If they want a talent, there’s no chance,'” Jarrett said. “‘Unless you really want to go into that pocket more.’ And he didn’t, and I got it — we were never going to outbid WWE. Never. Ever. Today it’s a different set of circumstances, and women’s wrestling now, to me, has been around in this type [of] format [for] 15 years. So the bloom is off. It’s different.”
