Maria Kanellis returned to the WWE at Sunday’s Money In The Bank pay per view. She arrived with her husband, who is now taking her last name as Michael Kanellis (formerly Michael Bennett). “The First Lady of Professional Wrestling” Maria is finally back where she belongs after over seven years away from the WWE.
Ms. Kanellis began her career on WWE’s Diva Search competition in 2004. She may have not won the competition, but she won over the hearts of the fans. She eventually became a ditzy backstage interview and received even more fanfare.
In 2009, Maria received a Slammy Award when the fans named her “Diva Of The Year.” However, this taste of success was only short lived, as she was released from the company only a couple of months later.
Maria and her husband Michael forged a new identity for themselves on the independent wrestling scene. They entertained the fans of Ring of Honor and TNA iMPACT! Wrestling. The couple simply oozed confidence and Maria improved on the microphone like never before. She use to call her husband “The Miracle,” but now she’s calling him by her original last name. They’re here to educate the masses. And the good people over at COED are certainly willing to learn from Maria…
