The pregnancy news of Maria Kanellis has been a discussed topic since the very beginning. Despite being an odd topic, WWE creative team used this most efficiently so to grab attention just like a bombshell, this week. Over on Raw, Maria went public saying Mike was not the father of this child but someone else.

At first, the former Divas Search contestant introduced Ricochet as the father who was in shock. After he defeated Mike in a match, Maria Kanellis appeared on the ramp to reveal the real father of the child. In came Rusev, from his four-month hiatus from WWE programming to squash Mike with his pendant moves.

Since then, speculations are running about how Rusev can be the father since he is a married man, himself unless cheating on his wife. But that’s an assumption since the Bulgarian Brute has never opened up on the situation and kept his silence intact. It’s going to be pretty interesting as per the latest reports since WWE may have a long-term plan intact for it.
Dave Meltzer provided backstage update on the ongoing storyline involving Maria Kanellis and Rusev on the latest edition of the Wrestling Observer Newsletter. The most important revelation he made was to mention that Rusev was not the real father. This will continue as ‘a running joke rather than a proper storyline’ leading to another big exposure.
It is certainly going to be another superstar who may turn out to be the real father or else it may just be a way to push Mike Kanellis. Here’s more from the source,
“Maria Kanellis angle back on RAW this week, the eventual plan is to reveal who the father is and build to that as a mystery for a ratings boost. Rusev is not the answer. It was described that this will be more a running joke than an angle building to a major reveal.”
So there would be some major twists in-store going forward in this storyline. But Rusev may soon find his exit from the angle, real quick.
Maria Kanellis and her husband Mike teamed up to take on Seth Rollins and Becky Lynch on the July 1st episode of RAW. It was during this match when Maria revealed that she was expecting a child which kicked off an inconsistent angle that is continuing and may just have more follow-ups in weeks to come.
