The Tonga Twins, Kaoz and Kona recently made headlines with their departure announcement from Women of Wrestling via social media. Their exit comes amidst allegations of bullying and causing harm to fellow WOW wrestlers, sparking a public dialogue on the matter.
In their criticism, the Twins didn’t mince words, denouncing the WOW promotion as ‘malevolent’ and accusing it of encroaching on their family life, though refraining from divulging specifics.
“We will be speaking out soon. But for now, we will leave it here. To all the women who are scared to speak up, we stand for you! You will no longer see us on WOW because we spoke up! You can’t do this to GOOD PEOPLE WHO SACRIFICE THEIR FAMILY!!! So Evil. Mess with us, you mess with our KIDS and family and that’s PERSONAL. Wait on it …”
“Tonga Twins are now free agents!!!!! The marathon continues”
Coincidentally, recent accusations of bullying and injuring WOW wrestlers were levied against the Twins by current WOW talent, Simone Williams. Williams claimed the Twins were terminated rather than quitting and criticized their behavior as egotistical.
“WOW has many flaws and has had a ton of growing pains with good and bad decisions along the way, but what’s happening right now is NOT RIGHT. The Tonga Twins were LET GO, they did not quit. The Tonga Twins were called out because of their own actions of BULLYING talent, THREATENING talent, and acting off-brand online. All of which is documented and hopefully for their sake doesn’t make it online. Women’s empowerment isn’t about burning a company down and taking everyone’s jobs away from them because you didn’t like being told NO, when just hours before being let go, you’re sending locker room leader motivational speeches in a company-wide group chat. WOW has a long way to go that’s clear, but I’ll be damned if I let the ego of two very well-treated and pushed talent speak on our behalf out of spite.”
In response, Kaoz took to Twitter to refute the accusations, asserting their innocence and questioning the integrity of the company’s internal processes.
”Well hello twitter fingers ! False !!! We know our truth ! You could have just called and asked! If we were bullying Explain why the writer of the company read your confidential emails and laughed about it. Not only yours your partner who reposted this”
Furthermore, Kona also chimed in, encouraging not to fear standing up for what’s right. She highlighted the support of the entire locker room, affirming that those who spoke up have paved the way for the truth to emerge soon.
“Don’t be scared to stand up for what’s right there’s a whole locker room who spoke up but the truth will come soon !! I hope they give you the belt back that you deserved remember we had your back and wanted you to win a belt too ✊🏽Go cry for a belt now thanks 🙏🏽”
The future endeavors of the Tonga Twins remain uncertain, with speculation rife about their potential transition to WWE and possible integration into The Bloodline faction, a move eagerly anticipated by many.
