Long before WWE could make their female stars into Superstars, Total Nonstop Action (TNA) was building a formidable women's division. Awesome Kong was one of the pillars of their division for some time. In late 2010, she decided to make a move to WWE under the ring name Kharma.

Fans were treated to vignettes for her arrival aired from April 2011 onwards, and she made her debut in May, attacking Michelle McCool after a match.

Kharma continued to attack McCool, but nothing much materialized for her as she never got a match against her. She soon revealed that she was pregnant and was took time away from the ring.

Kharma continued to make a few appearances after 2012, and featured in the men's Royal Rumble match that year. She was, however, released from the company in September 2013 as she was unable to make a full return to the ring in the allotted time. She became one of the few Superstars who only had in a single match in their career, that too the prestigious Royal Rumble match.

She returned to the independent circuit following her release, and once again signed with TNA in 2015. Kong made a surprise appearance at All Elite Wrestling (AEW) in May 2019, after which she became a constant for the promotion.

Apart from her work in the ring, Kong plays a prominent character on the Netflix series GLOW and has been filming for the fourth and final season of the show.
