Speaking of workers who really should've done more in WWE.

Awesome Kong was a tour de force before signing on the dotted line. She'd helped revolutionise what was expected from women's wrestling in major North American companies alongside Gail Kim in TNA. By the time Kong inked a WWE deal and was rebranded Kharma in 2011, most predicted she'd rule the roost.

That didn't end up happening. A lengthy string of vignettes led to her memorable, wrecking ball debut at Extreme Rules on 1 May. Kharma didn't wrestle, but made an impact (ha) by destroying Michelle McCool. Then, later in the month, Kharma told the world she was pregnant and left without wrestling a match.

She'd return for the 2012 Royal Rumble, worked one minute and was eliminated by Dolph Ziggler. Sadly, that remains her only WWE bout to date. The promotion had released her from contract by summer, and she hasn't been back. Oh what might've (and probably should've) been.
