On May 5, 2007, she defeated MsChif for the NWA World Women’s Championship, but Kong lost the title back to MsChif approximately one year later. The following month, Kong competed at the IPW:UK produced Chickfight 9, winning an eight-woman tournament.

Throughout 2006 and 2007, Kong also competed in nine of the fifteen Shimmer Women Athletes events released on DVD. On October 13, 2007, Kong got her first Shimmer Championship title shot against Sara Del Rey, losing when she did not answer the referee’s ten-count. On May 3, 2008 she teamed with Del Rey against Ashley Lane and Nevaeh in a Shimmer Tag Team Championship match, losing by disqualification. On November 8, 2009, at the tapings of Volume 27 Kong and LuFisto went to a double count out so both of them were declared #1 contenders at the Shimmer Championship. Later that same night on Volume 28, Kong suffered her first pinfall loss in Shimmer, after being pinned by MsChif in a 3-way elimination match, which also included LuFisto.

TNA Wrestling as ‘Awesome Kong’

Kia as 'Awesome Kong'

Stevens debuted on the October 11, 2007 edition of Total Nonstop Action Wrestling (TNA)’s Impact! as a heel, defeating Gail Kim. At Bound for Glory, Stevens—billed as Awesome Kong—participated in a 10-Knockout Gauntlet match to crown the first TNA Women’s Knockout Champion, but she was eliminated by the combined effort of Angelina Love, ODB and Gail Kim. Two months later at Turning Point, she lost a Women’s Knockout Championship match to Kim via disqualification. At Final Resolution in January 2008, Kong was defeated by Kim in a No Disqualification match for the Women’s Knockout Championship. Later that week, however, on the January 10 episode of Impact!, Kong defeated Kim to win the Women’s Knockout Championship with an unknown woman wearing a burkha accompanying her to the ring, later named Raisha Saeed. At Lockdown, Kong and Saeed teamed up for the first time, losing a tag team match to Kim and ODB.

On May 8 on Impact!, Kong issued a $25,000 dollar challenge to any females in the Impact! audience (actually planted wrestlers), defeated her opponents week after week. Kong then defeated challenger Taylor Wilde, who after two unsuccessful attempts, defeated Kong on July 10 to win the $25,000 Challenge and the Women’s Knockout Championship. Kong then failed to regain the championship from Wilde during a rematch at Victory Road. On the live October 23 edition of Impact Kong defeated Wilde to become a two-time Knockout Champion.  Two weeks later, Rhaka Khan turned on Wilde, who had been her tag team partner, and aligned herself with Kong and Saeed.  The alliance of Kong, Saeed, and Khan—with the later addition of Sojourner Bolt—became known as The Kongtourage. At Turning Point, Kong and Saeed were defeated in a tag team match by Wilde and her partner Roxxi. Months later, Bolt and Khan left the Kongtourage when Bolt became the number one contender to Kong’s championship. Kong retained her title against Bolt at Destination X.

On the March 26 edition of Impact! Kong and Saeed were defeated by The Beautiful People (Angelina Love and Velvet Sky), and after the match The Beautiful People tried to cut Kong’s hair. They accomplished the task on the April 16 episode of Impact! Kong would turn face by attempting to retaliate. At Lockdown, Kong lost the title to Love in a 3-Way Six Sides of Steel match, which also involved Taylor Wilde.  After losing the title, Kong defeated Love’s allies Sky, Madison Rayne and Cute Kip in separate Stretcher matches. Love also defeated Kong at their title rematch at Sacrifice.

In August 2009 Kong and Saeed entered the tournament to crown the first TNA Knockout Tag Team Champions. In the first round of the tournament, the team was able to defeat The Main Event Mafia (Traci Brooks and Sharmell), after Saeed blind tagged Kong and pinned Brooks, much to Kong’s dismay. Three weeks later they were eliminated from the tournament at the hands of the eventual winners of the whole tournament, Taylor Wilde and Sarita, when Wilde pinned Saeed.  Subsequently, Kong began rivalries with Tara and Knockout Champion ODB. At Bound for Glory, Saeed inadvertently cost Kong the Knockout Championship while interfering in a match between Kong, Tara, and ODB.  On the following edition of Impact! Kong defeated her now former manager and afterwards powerbombed her through the entrance stage. After interfering in two of Tara’s matches, Kong and Tara wrestled at Turning Point in a Six Sides of Steel match, which Tara won.

On the December 17 edition of Impact! Kong formed a tag team with Hamada as they won a three-way non-title match against The Beautiful People (Madison Rayne and Velvet Sky) and the TNA Knockout Tag Team Champions Taylor Wilde and Sarita, when Kong pinned Rayne.On the January 4, 2010, live, three-hour, Monday night edition of Impact! Kong and Hamada defeated Sarita and Wilde to win the TNA Knockout Tag Team Championship. With this victory, she becomes the second TNA Knockout in history to win the Knockouts and Knockout Tag Team Titles (the first being Taylor Wilde).

Her Release From TNA Wrestling

On January 19, 2010, Bubba the Love Sponge claimed on his radio show that Awesome Kong had attacked him, while backstage for the tapings of TNA Impact! the previous day, due to his negative comments concerning the Haiti earthquake relief project. Kong, who had been a driving force in the wrestling community in raising funds for Haiti, was reportedly sent home from the tapings following the altercation. On January 19, 2010, Stevens reportedly asked for her release from TNA. After she refused to take part in TNA’s January 2010 tour of the United Kingdom, the company suspended her.  The following month Stevens filed a lawsuit against Bubba for an alleged threatening phone call. She was reportedly released from TNA on March 1, 2010, but her profile still remained on the company’s official website. On the March 8 Monday night edition of Impact! Kong and Hamada were stripped of the Knockout Tag Team titles after allegedly failing to defend them in 30 days, even though in fact the team defended the titles just 21 days prior against Madison Rayne and Velvet Sky. On March 18 Kong’s profile was finally removed from TNA’s official website, confirming her departure from the company.  TNA later released a statement claiming that Stevens had requested her release due to personal reasons, supporting her through this time and hoping to see her return to the company soon this was confirmed through TNA President Dixie Carter’s Twitter Account.

THE FUTURE

It was announced via the ROH Website that Awesome Kong will be returning to the ring on May 8th for Ring of Honor. She’ll be facing Sara Del Ray and will be using her former name of Amazing Kong.

Is WWE a Possibility

We are hoping that when Kia’s 90+ Day N0 Compete Clause is up she will be signed and debut mid-Summer 2010.
