It's an unfortunate shame to say that had Kia Stevens not gotten pregnant during her run in the WWE as Kharma, the women's wrestling revolution we're seeing today in WWE could've happened so much sooner. Known as Awesome Kong in TNA, the plus-sized and agile Stevens' 2011-2012 run in the WWF involved appearing in the 2012 Royal Rumble, but not before one of the most bizarre in-ring moments in WWE history, in which Stevens broke down crying in the middle of the ring, and only one month after her debut, was on the shelf because she was with child. The idea of Kharma being healthy and in WWE right now should be causing everyone to salivate. Kharma and Sasha Banks. Kharma and Charlotte. Kharma as a centerpiece of the retooled WWE Women's Division in general is something that's missed.
