Yesterday it was reported that both Maria and Mike Kanellis had requested to be released from their WWE contracts after becoming frustrated with their booking since their 2017 return/debut.
However, according to Maria, we shouldn’t believe everything we read, because it’s not true. Take the below with a pinch of salt as it’s pretty common for stars to come out after these rumours in an attempt to appease WWE.
Maria posted the below set of tweets in response to the rumours:
Everyone thinks they know everything. Hahahahaha…. it’s social media not an autobiography. https://t.co/5wlyJgzfF1

Social Media Fact Check: Mike NEVER went to rehap ANYWHERE. He was on the road with me rehabbing. We were on house shows. He never took time off to rehab. He worked through it.

Social Media Fact Check: I worked for WWE for 6 years before I got pregnant. I worked in sports entertainment for 14 years before having a baby.

Social Media Fact Check: WWE has been SUPER supportive of me being a mother and a superstar!

So, it looks like for the time being she’s not going anywhere. PWInsider reports that Mike Kanellis had his request to leave rejected around eight weeks ago, but we await confirmation.
