* CreatorBreakdown: She made a surprise return to WWE in 2012 for the ''Royal Rumble'', claiming she had already given birth to her baby and named him Jamie. It was later revealed that the baby was stillborn, and she opted to leave WWE because she was not in the right mental state to return in the time they were asking for.

* CastTheExpert: Her participation in ''GLOW'' might just seem like standard StuntCasting, but she had extensive acting experience growing up.

It was later revealed that the baby was stillborn, and she opted to leave WWE because she was not in the right mental state to return in the time they were asking for. In addition to that, it was the latest in a series of deaths in her family that she had not been able to grieve for; she recalls attending her own mother's funeral and then immediately having to get on a plane to do ''Bound For Glory''. As a result, she knew her depression would only increase if she went back on the road.



* MoneyDearBoy: She quite vocally left TNA due to pay disputes. In a shoot interview she said she was denied a pay rise, which she wanted so she could afford a car - and this was around the time TNA were spending money on signing numerous ex-WWE stars. She also said TNA once tried to get out of paying her.

She also said TNA once tried to get out of paying her. And apparently, by the time she'd left, she had just $77 in her bank account and the TNA office were actually withholding pay in the hopes that would keep her quiet.



* WhatCouldHaveBeen

to:

* WhatCouldHaveBeen WhatCouldHaveBeen:
** She was not actually intending to get hired by WWE. Through pure coincidence, several other female wrestlers had sent in tapes of their matches to get hired, and most of them were matches against ''her''. That's how they became aware of her, and she says that Jim Ross, Stone Cold and Mick Foley convinced Vince to sign her.

** At one point she had a GirlyGirl gimmick in Japan while in Wrestling/FightingOperaHUSTLE - at complete odds with her WrestlingMonster persona.

* ThrowItIn: The Amazing Kong name actually. In Japan, Aja Kong was advertised for a show but she was unable to make it. As she had only been advertised as "A. Kong", it was a LoopholeAbuse for the promoters to deliver what they had been advertising. Stevens claimed she arrived at the arena and was greeted "Hey, Kong" and thought it was a racial taunt at first, not knowing about her new name.

* HeAlsoDid: She also trained in mixed martial arts while in Japan, but decided to just stick to pro wrestling. She did win one fight at '''G-Shooto: Wrestle Expo 2006'' by TKO but by then was well established as a wrestler and not about to switch over.

** Reby Sky apparently referred to Kong in a shoot interview, talking about people who never take their problems with Sky to her face. Kong definitely interpreted ''something'' Sky said as being about her and their next meeting on the set of TNA Kong ended with Kong dismissed after she escalated the situation and put her hands on Sky.

** TNA wanted Amazing Kong to bring the [[Wrestling/NationalWrestlingAlliance NWA World Women's Championship]] into their company but could not since they left the NWA after getting bought out by Panda energy[[note]]Leilani Kai had won the belt at a NWA-TNA house show but she was stripped of it for no showing before TNA got any further mileage out of it.[[/note]]. TNA eventually got her but only after she dropped the title to [=MsChif=]. Kong might have held it longer (she was just shy of the year mark) and might have lost it by pin fall or submission instead of count out(where the champion usually retains) but TNA did not want her looking weak and the NWA decided to oblige at their own expense, in a business known for petty and spiteful behavior.
