3X Women of Honor Champion Kelly Klein allegedly fire while injured

According to her husband, BJ Whitmer, three-time and current Women of Honor Champion Kelly Klein has been fired by the company. The 33-year-old, who is currently out of action after suffering a concussion, was apparently informed of the news via email. Whitmer took to Twitter on Thursday to confirm the news.

Now that the cat is out of the bag. Yes, my wife @RealKellyKlein was fired by @ringofhonor COO Joe Koff, via email Tuesday evening. Not a phone call, an EMAIL. Kelly is still very much suffering from Post Concussion Syndrome and was fired while still injured. https://t.co/0Otra5aq4j

Klein was one of the Superstars to speak out recently in support of former ROH Producer, Joey Mercury, who has been very critical of the company on social media. Recently Mercury published an email from GM Greg Gilleland revealing some private information about Klein's contract. He did so with her permission, and it appears to have cost Klein her job with ROH.

Mercury has taken to Twitter to allegedly post the termination email sent to Klein. If it turns out to be legitimate, it appears Klein was not terminated exactly. Her contract will instead expire and she will not be re-signed.

How dare she!?!? The nerve. That’s what you get, @RealKellyKlein - hey I wonder who else you sent that nice email to? What if Tomorrow’s Summit was actually the resignation of GG & JK!?!? If it isn’t- I’m more than prepared to get LOUD & specific. Talent deserve this treatment. pic.twitter.com/RY2hPdfyX0

The Gate Keeper herself has stated in the past that she only spoke out in hopes of bringing positive change to the company. This is something she apparently still wishes for even after being informed that the company no longer has any plans for her.

I hope so too. I wish I had been invited. I trust some of the guys there to take care of it. I have already presented many of my thoughts and ideas in person over the years, and most recently on November 7th when I drove 8 hours to Baltimore for a meeting requested by ME. https://t.co/KyTQvFECPe
