Awesome Kong Addresses AEW’s Departure And Where Things Stand Between Her And TNA

Former AEW and TNA Wrestling star Awesome Kong (Kia Stevens) conducted an interview with Victoire. Here are the highlights:

Her AEW departure:

“At the beginning of 2019, right from the jump — whenever AEW started, like for real, for real, I was there, okay?… I had to leave for a little bit to go shoot GLOW and then, while we were shooting GLOW, the pandemic happened, and because of certain ailments that I have, I could not travel, and God bless them. They paid me way longer than I thought they would or should. God bless ‘em, forever, and we just parted ways, because I couldn’t come back and why keep paying someone? We parted amicably, seriously, and they paid me way longer than I would’ve paid somebody who’s just not coming in a job. I’m just saying, so, yeah.”

Where things stand between herself and TNA:

“TNA, for me, it’s like family. When you’re there, you’re family. So, always will come back to TNA or do something for TNA because I came into my own at TNA.”
