When you talk about wasted opportunity in WWE, Kharma has to be at the top of your list.

A huge signing, the former Awesome Kong was set to be a world-beater in the divas division before getting pregnant. She would then return at the 2012 Royal Rumble, the last woman to enter the match before last year’s all-women’s Rumble. Kharma would terrorize Michael Cole (yes, he was actually in a Rumble) and eliminate Hunico before being tossed herself.

And that was that for Kharma in WWE. Today, Kia Stevens plays Welfare Queen on Netflix’s popular series GLOW, making her the kind of crossover success that WWE desires. But still, she has not made a return to the company.
