Maria Kanellis Says 2020 WWE Release Was Terrifying With Two Babies At Home

TLDR

Maria Kanellis described her 2020 WWE release as "terrifying" because she and Mike Bennett both lost their jobs on the same day with two babies at home, including a 9-week-old. She compared this to her 2010 WWE departure, which she said was more of a business decision after WWE wouldn't increase their contract offer despite her heavy workload that included house shows and television tapings. Kanellis noted that she and Bennett handled the 2020 release differently, with her immediately planning multiple projects while he considered leaving wrestling entirely.
