Awesome Kong recently spoke with Scott Fishman of TV Insider and talked about how she kept her ring return at AEW's Double Or Nothing pay-per-view a secret last month. Kong didn’t train in anybody’s gym as she didn’t want the word to get out about her return, and she even turned down indie bookings to remain under the radar.
So when the former multi-time Knockouts champion did make her return to the ring at Double or Nothing, it was a joy to many fans to see one of the talents who helped revolutionize women’s wrestling. Kong made it clear that she's still a free agent, but we might see more of her in the future. She worked Double Or Nothing because she sees something special in AEW and wanted to be a part of history:
"I've always kind of been that rebel in wrestling. This promotion is kind of that exciting rebel in a way," Kong said. "This force that will not be denied. I think it was the perfect portal for me to re-enter the wrestling world."

full interview where Kong talks about a WWE Hall of famer helping her backstage, her concern that the fans wouldn't remember who she was, the third season of GLOW, and much more.
