Former WWE star Kharma, real name Kia Stevens, recently revealed that she was going to retire from wrestling before she got the call from WWE.
The star — who has re-adopted her Amazing Kong moniker on the independent scene — only appeared on WWE television for just over a month last year, and in an interview with Diva Dirt explained that if it wasn’t for WWE’s surprising call, she would have been Implant Busting no more.
About the company’s interest in her, she said: “I was actually about 14 days away from announcing my retirement in wrestling and I got a call. I’ll never forget, I was sick with a cold and I got a call from Tommy Dreamer, and Tommy Dreamer asked me if he could give my number to John Laurinaitis, and I said, ‘Uh, yeah!’ [Laughs]”
“Five minutes later I got a call from John Laurinaitis who spoke with me and offered me a position at WWE and I tell you, I don’t think I closed my mouth for 20 days.”
Whilst in WWE, Kharma massacred the Divas division, attacking the likes of Alicia Fox, Eve Torres, Layla and Michelle McCool before leaving due to her pregnancy.
She briefly returned in January of this year as a surprise entrant into the Royal Rumble, becoming only the third female in history to do so.

Haha, well all I can say to that is – Thank god for the WWE. It would have been sad to see her retire. Would be grand if she could return too.

She’s said this before hasn’t she?
Anyway I’m very happy WWE made her rethink retirement.

Dear Jack, we already heard the interview so I really don’t know why you are adding everything she said in it bit by bit under the news now?
It’s kinda weird since it’s “old news” already.

My thoughts exactly…. Why is he doing this?? Are you gonna keep posting segments of the interview as “news” … Really?
