Former TNA Knockouts champion Awesome Kong was sent home from the current UK tour on the first day following a locker room incident with Reby Sky, PWInsider.com has learned.
According to multiple sources, Kong took issue with Sky attempting to dress in the women's locker room and threw Sky's bag out of the room. There was apparently some issue on Kong's end with Sky, although I haven't confirmed what.
We are told Sky left the room and when she returned to retrieve her things, Kong went after her for "not apologizing." What Sky was supposed to be "apologizing" for remains to be discovered. PWInsider.com is still working on that aspect of the story.
There are two versions making the rounds. One is that Kong tried to go after Sky but was stopped. The second version, which we've heard from FAR more people, is that Kong throttled Sky around the neck and assaulted her, before security and TNA Producer Pat Kenney restrained Kong.
What makes the entire situation worse is that Reby and Matt Hardy's son was right in the vicinity of the incident we are told.
The incident led to Kong being sent home by TNA. What this means for her long-term status with the company is probably undecided as of this writing.
Kong departed TNA in 2010 after assaulting shock DJ Bubba the Love Sponge (at the time, working as a backstage interviewer for the company through his connection to Hulk Hogan) after Bubba made derogatory remarks about Haiti following a major Earthquake there. She went to WWE for a short run as Kharma and returned to TNA in early 2015.
PWInsider has reached out to TNA for comment.
