Awesome Kong, who is signed to a WWE deal, has been spotted in Atlanta. While it hasn’t been confirmed that she will not be debuting, the news that she’s in town doesn’t mean as much as people are speculating. WWE brings in pretty much everyone signed to the company for WrestleMania weekend, whether they’re performing at WrestleMania events or not. This doesn’t mean that Kong won’t debut this weekend but being signed to a WWE deal, she would most likely be in town anyway.

Awesome Kong teased an appearance at tonight’s Royal Rumble pay-per-view as she noted the following on Twitter this afternoon.

“My stomach is RUMBLE-ing. Craving sushi so I may SMACK DOWN on some RAW fish.”

According to the Hillsborough County Sheriff’s Office’s charge report on Kong last month for driving without a valid license, she resides in Massachusetts, near the site of tonight’s pay-per-view event.

Former TNA Knockouts champion Awesome Kong is believed to have signed a contract last week with World Wrestling Entertainment. Kong confirmed the signing on Twitter, re-tweeting congratulations from her attorney saying she’s going to “kill it” in WWE.

Independent wrestling promotion Millennium Wrestling Federation is promoting Awesome Kong’s appearance for this Saturday’s event at Memorial Hall in Melrose, MA as her farewell show before she starts with WWE. Kong will wrestle J-Busta and will be accompanies to the ring by John Cena, Sr., father of WWE superstar John Cena.

The latest is that the company is reportedly trying to keep it as “under wraps” as possible. A few WWE superstars are speculating that Kong could be a mystery entrant in this year’s Royal Rumble, which takes place on 1/30.

While Kong will certainly be a part of WWE’s divas division, another plan that has been discussed is for Kong to be introduced as a bodyguard/enforcer for either a WWE superstar or diva.
