Update On Awesome Kong Teasing WWE Return

In the story about Awesome Kong teasing a return to WWE, I noted that she posted some video’s with messages on Instagram teasing a possible return to WWE.

I found a post on Twitter that she states that she doesn’t have an Instagram account, so apparently the Awesome Kong Instagram account is a fake.

She posted the following on Twitter:

Kong signed with WWE in 2010 and appeared on television in 2011 under the name Kharma. In May of 2011, she revealed that she was pregnant and thus forced to take a leave of absence from WWE. In July of 2012, she confirmed on Twitter that she had parted ways with WWE.She was recently released from TNA because of an incident between her and Reby Sky (Reby Sky Hardy) in Manchester, England during TNA’s tour of the UK.

Kong could just be having some fun on social media but if there was any chance of her signing her then she would have to pass WWE medical tests. Kong has been plagued with back issues in the last year.

Former TNA Knockout Brooke Adams Announces Pregnancy

TNA Knockout Brooke Adams (known in TNA as Brooke, Brooke Tessmacher and Ms. Tessmacher) announced on Instagram that she is pregnant.

There is uncertainty regarding Adams’ status with TNA. She is still listed as an active roster member on the company website, but that doesn’t necessarily mean anything since Austin Aries and Taryn Terrell are still on the page. PWInsider.com says her pregnancy is why she parted ways with the organization ‘several months ago.’ Adams has yet to publicly give a direct answer regarding her TNA status.

New TNA Knockout Raquel (Gabi Castrovinci), a former WWE Tough Enough competitor, appeared on last night’s episode of TMZ on FS1 and claimed to have been assaulted during a match at a WXW event in Miami over the weekend.

“I really got assaulted, I didn’t expect it,” Raquel said. “Although I was warned that it was going to happen, but I never thought that it would be at that level.”

Raquel noted that she cracked her tooth and had to get a root canal and a crown on her tooth. She also had “a little hairline fracture” on her jaw and multiple bruises.

Raquel noted that she does not intend to file charges out of respect to her coach, and that the person who had warned her does not want to come forward.

She believes that the incident happened because she “became very successful in wrestling and got a huge contract with Impact Wrestling.”

Raquel also stated on Twitter that she would not let the ordeal affect her and that she was already back training. She also posted the following on her Instagram, writing, “I’m fearless, I don’t complain. Even when horrible things happen to me, I go on.”

Top WWE Officials Reportedly Meet With Lucha Underground Officials, Lucha Turns Down TNA Idea

Source:   Wrestling Observer Newsletter via WrestlingINC

WWE officials met with Lucha Underground back in December but nothing came of the meeting, according to The Wrestling Observer Newsletter.

WWE was represented by Triple H and Senior Director of Talent Development Canyon Cemen. There was some discussion about talent but the talks went nowhere.

On a related note, TNA recently reached out to Lucha Underground. The company floated the idea of doing a joint show in Dallas during WrestleMania 32 weekend but Lucha Underground turned the offer down. The feeling was that it would be a bad mix.
