The Tonga Twins, Kaoz and Kona, have recently grabbed headlines with their departure announcement from Women of Wrestling on social media. Their exit comes amid allegations of bullying and causing harm to fellow WOW wrestlers, sparking a public discourse. Interestingly, the twins have now claimed a man threatened them during their time in WOW.
In their critique the Twins were direct, condemning the WOW promotion as ‘malevolent’ and alleging it intruded upon their family life, though they chose not to disclose specific details.
“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”
In a surprising turn of events, current WOW talent Simone Williams accused the Twins of bullying and inflicting harm upon fellow WOW wrestlers. Contrary to their announcement, Williams stated that the Twins were fired from the promotion rather than departing voluntarily. On top of that, she criticized their conduct and said they were 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.”
The discourse is clearly far from over now as Kaoz Tonga took to Twitter and claimed that a man threatened them during their time in WOW, so they simply stood up to him on behalf of the locker room.
”When standing up about a man in an all WOMENS locker room Who threatened us Makes them switch up on the Tonga Twinz
To everyone who reached out to us n told us their truth thank you 🙏🏽
Soon we will speak

The Twins also provided video evidence in defense of themselves against the accusations of bullying. Interestingly enough, another talent left WOW after the Tonga Twins fiasco. We will have to wait and see what the future holds for the Tonga Twins, as they have certainly created a lot of buzz.
