Bengaluru, January 18: The world of pro-wrestling has never been such volatile as it is right now as the arrival of All Elite Wrestling promotions changed the course on 2019 New Year’s Eve. Another billionaire named Toni Khan announced his war with the promotions run by the McMahons. This has opened a new alternative for those superstars who are unhappy with their position in the WWE.
Subsequently, we received reports of some superstars who have already sought their release from the roster. One of the most popular Divas of all-time, Maria Kanellis is one of them alongside her husband, Mike. These two entered the WWE scene back in 2016 with a view to add more accolades to their resume.
However, Mike had to deal with some steroid issues while Maria Kanellis got pregnant. This kept them away from action for the entire time of their contract over the past two years. Even now when they are ready to be back on TV, WWE only uses them on 205 Live. The promotion have cut them off from the main roster and that was not taken well by the couple who have now reportedly requested for a release.
Here’s the update from Pro-wrestling Sheet,
“Pro Wrestling Sheet has learned Mike and Maria Kanellis recently asked for WWE officials to release them from their contracts. Sources tell us the Kanellis’ have been unhappy with the way they’ve been used in WWE for a while and finally made the decision a few weeks ago to request their releases. Mike Kanellis has also once again started selling new shirts on Pro Wrestling Tees.”
