We are getting reports of a number of WWE superstars willing to leave the company. The Revival is one of them whereas another couple is willing to do so. They are Mike and Maria Kanellis whom we have barely seen on WWE TV since the debut. With perhaps the worst WWE career resume since the return, these two are now likely to leave the company. This might be the best option remaining for them.

Ryan Satin of Pro-Wrestling Sheet broke the news to the pro-wrestling universe. Here’s what he has offered in his report,

“Pro Wrestling Sheet has learned Mike and Maria Kanellis recently asked for WWE officials to release them from their contracts. Sources tell us the Kanellis’ have been unhappy with the way they’ve been used in WWE for a while and finally made the decision a few weeks ago to request their releases. Mike Kanellis has also once again started selling new shirts on Pro Wrestling Tees.”

It is no surprise that Mika and Maria Kanellis took this decision as they are literally on a vacation ever since mid-2016. The so-called big dreams with the WWE got shattered in weeks to follow. WWE only used Mike in some of the house shows and not on TV. Mike had a comeback on 205 Live in the fall of 2018. But that has now stopped, too. With nothing in reserve for them, it would be fair for them to leave the brand and go back to the indies.

Mike Kanellis debuted on WWE Smackdown Live in the month of June in 2016. Her beautiful life, Maria Kanellis also joined him into the biggest pro wrestling promotion of the world. At that point, they were over with Impact Wrestling stint.

WWE seemed the best place for them to join. Also, Maria Kanellis used to be one of the most gorgeous WWE Divas present in the locker room. So he might have favored joining this particular company. But Mike was in bad shape and battling with a steroid issue. So he had to take time off. Later Maria Kanellis got pregnant as Mike lost his lucky charm by the side. Even if they both are ready to feature in competition, WWE creative never called them back in a significant position.

With the arrival of All Elite Wrestling promotion, it seems okay for them to leave the brand. However, they have requested for the release which is not granted. It’s completely up to the WWE whether they intend to leave the couple or not.
