Gail Kim Misses NWA Crockett Cup

Gail Kim was scheduled to be a part of the NWA’s Crockett Cup event last night, as the promotion headed to the 2300 Arena in Philadelphia last night for this annual show. The former TNA and WWE world champion was set to appear as special guest referee for the NWA Women’s World Championship match between Kenzie Page and WWE’s Natalya (wrestling under the name of Nattie Neidhart). However, she was not in attendance.

Spoilers for the show follow. 

On her social media, Kim revealed that she was suffering from illness, and would be unable to make the show.

“I am sorry to have to announce that I cannot make it to the Crockett Cup today in Philadelphia. I hate to let the fans down and most of all Nattie and Kenzie but post cruise last Sunday, I went down hard and have been suffering severe flu/covid symptoms. I did not want to announce in hopes to make a full recovery by today, but I am still experiencing a high fever and have had to cancel this am.

“I promise to make it up to the NWA fans and Billy and hope to come back for another event. I am so disappointed as I was looking forward to being the referee for the women’s championship title today. Wishing the best of luck to everyone in Philadelphia today and especially the ladies who I know will be bringing down 2300 Arena tonight!”

In the match, Page would successfully defend her title against Natalya. It was also revealed this week that NWA had agreed to a new streaming deal on the Roku platform.
