Awesome Kong sent out a tweet earlier today that seemed to indicate that she had been released by TNA, although there has yet to be any confirmation from the company regarding her status.

Kong posted the following on her Twitter account: “I’d like to thank [TNA president Dixie Carter] and all of the employees at TNA for wishing me the very best in my future endeavors.”

A TNA spokesperson declined comment to pwinsider.com when asked about Kong’s situation. One-half of the TNA Knockouts tag team champions with Hamada, Kong’s photo and bio still appear on tnawrestling.com at the time of this posting.

Given all that has gone on over the past six weeks behind the scenes between Awesome Kong and Bubba The Love Sponge, it certainly wouldn’t surprise me if Kong has been let go. She reportedly asked for her release in January following a backstage physical altercation that she initiated with BTLS.

Even though Kong is an accomplished wrestler and a ratings draw for TNA, it’s hard to say whether WWE would be interested in her if she is available. She does not have the “diva” look that WWE prefers, but that could work in her favor if WWE wanted to push an “anti-diva” monster heel.
