Kharma, or Awesome Kong if you're a big TNA fan and remember her best as that, should've been an automatic win for WWE's women's division. She offered something totally different to anyone else on the roster, but had shown opposite Gail Kim on the IMPACT side that she was willing to sell, sell, sell if the match went long enough.

Post-debut, Kharma announced she was pregnant and took time off. When she shockingly returned at the 2012 Rumble, people were ready to see what this monster heel could do. Kong/Kharma became just the third female to enter a Rumble match at that point, behind Chyna and Beth Phoenix.

It was a pressure spot, although one she worked well with and definitely fit.

Kharma scared Michael Cole senseless, then tossed Hunico as well before Dolph Ziggler ended her WrestleMania dreams. WWE ended Kharma's contract later that same year, which makes her one of the biggest 'what ifs' to ever grace the company.
