In a follow up to the Awesome King-Reby Sky incident from last week, TNA announced yesterday that Kong has indeed been released from the company. Kong herself confirmed this in her Twitter with the following:
My time this round in TNA was fun. Time for me to move on to other things. #Released #HeadHeldHigh

Here is the official statement from TNA Executive of Talent Relations John “Big” Gaburick. The link to the statement is in the tweet:
TNA Impact Wrestling has released Awesome Kong. We wish her well in her future endeavors. https://t.co/afmkZfUqW9

There’s no telling what the future holds for Awesome Kong, but some fans are speculating that Lucha Underground would be the perfect setting for her to get a fresh start. The chances of another run in WWE are unlikely at this time.
