Will WWE give Awesome Kong a second chance?

With WWE finally seemingly behind a divas revolution and focusing on women wrestlers more and with TNA's future looking very uncertain I ask do you think WWE would give Awesome Kong a second chance again to bring Kharma to the divas revolution?
A lot of fans were so disappointed that Kharma was cut short in WWE, it was sad all round what happened with Kong back then.
However in the brief time she was there the fans popped for her dominating and seldom have you heard a pop for a diva like the one she got in her surprise Royal Rumble appearance.
I could think of no one better for Stephanie McMahon to introduce as the enforcer of this revolution reminding everyone that Stephanie still runs things.
Of course there is the back story with the Bellas too that fans would pop for as the twins finally are dethroned from ruling the division and get some Kharma on the way out.
Kharma could be the monster test against the talented women of the revolution and up and comers. I think Kong deserves that one last year or 2 on the big stage before hanging up the boots.
I know WWE are priming Nia Jax as a monster but seriously the fans respect Kong and I think Jax may face the green giant treatment from the fans.
Kong could even pass the torch to Jax.
Keep in mind Kong's contract with TNA is up in January 2016.
Your thoughts?

Yes her work in this TNA run has not been that good I agree but to be fair I really think that is to do with her being disinterested in TNA , she really wanted that WWE return.
Numerous talents have worked with injuries during their careers, she clearly can still work as long as she is careful with her spots.
As for the mental issues, that is just fans hear say, I think it is fully understandable that your head would not be in a good place after a personal tragedy and losing the biggest career opportunity of your life all at the same time. All considering she has made big steps on her road to recovery with her weight loss and trying to get her career back.
The point I am making is she is a respected over character that can actually work and can still create some interest amongst the new blood.
As for age why is there a double standard with males and females in wrestling when it comes to age with fans. 38 isn't ancient.

If she were to return it would make up for the bad timing of her last appearance but, assuming she's medically cleared or seen as a risk for her herniated discs, she could still make a huge impact whether it be as the Brock of the Divas or even as a bodyguard role to avoid the injury risk.

You figure that their role in TNA is pretty much just one of helping to show 'Divas' the exit door and regulating things on that level, they haven't really stood out that much especially recently. Given that, not sure that a return is necessarily their purpose, given that the WWE probably has its own ways to do these things, and in any case with Sasha to fill the 'vaguely popular Diva amongst a few people' role and Rusev for doing something or the other which lets Divas fade away from the WWE when it wants them to, there's not necessarily any clear niche for them to fill and it might come off as uncharacteristic, and perhaps further entrances to the WWE in this division would need a different theme entirely to shake things up enough not to become slightly secondary.

Definitely not. Despite what you might hear about the "Divas revolution" being about female wrestlers who are athletes instead of models you might not have noticed that all of the new divas being brought through are gorgeous women. Paige isn't like the other divas because she has pale skin, that's how far they're allowed to deviate. A manbeast who looks like Mark Henry in a dress still doesn't fit the bill.

Well that is your opinion however they hired her a few years back when the division was even more model centric than it is now so I don't see image being a problem, they hired Kong because she was different.
Also I think calling her a manbeast is a bit harsh, it is that kind of attitude that would keep the talentless models in the spotlight despite others having ten times their talent.
