As we previously reported here on eWn, The Tonga Twins (Kaoz & Kona) have parted ways with WOW – Women of Wrestling. While the reason for their departure is currently unknown, they did take multiple shots at the promotion and revealed that more would soon be revealed.
Former WOW – Women of Wrestling wrestlers Heidi Howitzer and Simone Williams have both taken to Twitter to accuse the pair of bullying.
Williams said, “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, your 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.”
Howitzer added, “WOW can be criticized for many things, but these women stating they’ll “speak out” for the other girls only received favoritism while bullying and injuring others, the entire time crying “sisterhood.”
I went to the ER due to their negligence and improper training. I requested my release directly after this incident. They also bullied a close friend when she was severely injured and spoke up. My friend is still dealing with the aftermath. I hope she feels comfortable eventually coming forward with her experience.”

This is what happens when you give people the world and push them to the stars when it’s not earned or deserved #tongatwins pic.twitter.com/vbtzSlAL8V

“If you know us then you know NOTHING BUT LOVE ALWAYS !! The real gone ride the fake gone divide !!! #tongatwins who’s a bully???”
