Maria Kanellis re-posted that gif. A fan responded to the tweet and Maria ended up giving a suitable reply to him. The fan seemed upset about why WWE kept Maria Kanellis and Anderson separate on television. The response from Kanellis was that “WWE hates money”. You can’t deny the logic given by the first and only pregnant champion in WWE’s history. If setting up such an angle on WWE TV, the company could have garnered a ton of attention.
Unfortunately, WWE never made good use of these two during their stint in the WWE. Currently, both Maria Kanellis and Karl Anderson have just been released from the company on April 15th. So you never know, if these end up being in the same company, somewhere down the line.
As for WWE, they have only used a controversial angle around Maria Kanellis during her second pregnancy period. She denied having Mike as the father of the child which shocked the pro-wrestling fraternity and it would remain as one of the most interesting angles of 2019.
