In
an Instagram post, Maria Kanellis denied that she has requested to be released
by WWE: “I was not going to address this but I am getting phone calls and emails
about it. I DID NOT ask for my release. Speculation and rumors are running
rampant. Someone is playing all the wrestling news sites. It’s a game. I’ve been
in professional wrestling for 15 years and what I do in front of the camera will
only be a small part of the full story. I have relationships with fans, talent,
producers, and their families. I have been in the hospital when people have been
injured and backstage to hug someone that just had a great match. I don’t need
to stir up sh*t. I don’t need to put others down. I am an imperfect human that
has learned from past mistakes. Whoever is leaking rumors I pity you. And your
desperate attempt for attention while disparaging my husband and me. I’m going
to take the weekend off of social media to hang out with my beautiful family and
I suggest whoever it is does the same. Social media is not fact. It is fantasy,
a nightmare, or a place for bullies. I want to use this for motivation to be
positive everyday. I am still learning how to be a mom. I still fight postpartum
depression. And I still try and become a better person everyday. I don’t need
this made up extra stress. I hope everyone has a wonderful weekend and thank you
for your support!!” Pro Wrestling Sheet had reported that Maria and Mike
Kanellis had asked to be released; it’s all part of the rampart speculation that
a few WWE wrestlers want to make the jump to AEW. |
