Prior to signing with the WWE in 2010, Kharma dominated the entire women's wrestling scene all across the globe and eventually made her way over to the WWE in December of 2010.

In her first appearance for the company, Kharma attacked former Divas Champion, Michelle McCool brutally and continued attacking her for the next following weeks on SmackDown and even on Monday Night Raw as well.

However, within the next few weeks, Kharma interrupted a tag team match on Raw and instead of putting a gruesome beating on the women of Monday Night Raw, the former TNA Knockouts Champion decided to cut a promo in the ring, as she revealed her pregnancy and claimed that she will not be able to wrestle for the WWE and was forced to leave the company.

Fast forward to 2012, Kharma shocked the entire world when she made her return to WWE, as she entered the 30-man Royal Rumble match and became only the third woman in history to do so following the likes of Chyna and Beth Phoenix.

By competing in the Rumble match not only did Kharma make history but also managed to eliminate Michael Cole (by intimidating him) and then managed Hunico as well, before eventually being thrown out by Dolph Ziggler. Kharma's official WWE in-ring debut might have lasted short but it was surely a feel-good moment.
