Former WWE Superstar Awesome Kong/Kharma says the promotion released her two weeks after she rejected their return plan for her. During her recent appearance on the No-Contest Wrestling podcast, Awesome Kong explained the circumstances surrounding her WWE release in July 2012. She noted that the company officials asked her to lose some weight before she could return after her maternity leave. However, they were not open to her suggestions and wanted her to do things their way. “What happened was WWE asked me what did I needed to come back. I was like, ‘Just let me come back. I need to not be at home. Put me on the road,'” Awesome Kong began. The officials said, “‘Well, we want you to lose a little weight.’ ‘Okay, that’s fine. Alright. There’s a fat camp out in Colorado that the biggest loser use. Send me out there, I’ll drop some pounds.” The WWE officials then asked her, “‘Well, how about we send you to OVW?’ ‘I don’t think that’d be smart right now.’ And they asked me, ‘What do you need?’ I said, ‘Okay, this is what I need. You want me to be ready? Get me Sara Del Rey (current assistant head coach of the Performance Center, who signed with the promotion the same month Kong was released).’ ‘Who’s Sara Del Rey?’ ‘I know y’all know who Sara Del Rey is. Find Sara Del Rey. Let me go down to OVW. Two weeks, I’ll be ready.’ That’s not what they wanted to do. They wanted me to get ready the way they wanted me to get ready,” Awesome Kong continued. Awesome Kong says she had no tolerance for some WWE officials who were on power trips back then “I just had no bandwidth. I had no tolerance for the bulls**t. It’s a mind game there, and I couldn’t participate. So when someone did what they used to do, I don’t know how it is now, but back then there were people that were on power trips. I had to put on my clown suit and drive down there and let them know what I thought about that,” she continued. “So I got let go about two weeks after that, and I knew it was coming. I was like, “Oh, they’re going to let me go after that.’ But I could not play all the games. But they said, ‘We want you to do this and come back, and we’ll sign you again.’ But that just never happened,” the former WWE star said.
