Maria Kanellis is one of those rare Divas from the Ruthless Aggression Era who is still actively pursuing a professional wrestling career. Many do believe her to be the most beautiful woman to step into the squared circle while she never had the opportunity to pick a Women’s Championship that is the highest accolade for a female Superstar.

Before leaving WWE, Maria Kanellis did have the opportunity to claim herself to be the first and only 24/7 Champion in WWE’s history. She and Mike Bennett were released by the company in April 2020 as part of the COVID-19 budget cuts. Both of them recently returned to ROH after waiting for several months. One more compact could be interested in them or should we say her.

WWE Hall Of Famer and the current AEW commentator Jim Ross discussed Maria Kanellis on the latest episode of his Grilling JR podcast. It focused on an episode of Raw dated January 7, 2008. The Playboy Cover girl took part in a Lingerie Pillow Fight on that night, while she also spoke to Vince McMahon, backstage.

Maria Kanellis’ Beauty And Talent Praised By Jim Ross

Ross, the former creative head of WWE had a lot of praise to offer for Maria Kanellis Kanellis when he saw her segment with McMahon. He added saying he’d love to see Kanellis arriving WWE’s rival brand AEW, someday.

“I tell you what, how great a television character is Maria? I think she’s one of the best. I would love for her to be someday in AEW. Just so many good things she can do, great look, good mom, solid, seems to be very happily married to Mike Bennett, which is always great.”

As mentioned above, Maria Kanellis is one of the most gorgeous Divas to step into the wrestling industry if not the most. Ross reiterated the same thing while praising Maria’s looks, saying the following:

“She has a fabulous look, maybe the best facials of any female around today. For a woman that’s recently had two children, she looks pretty damn good, to be polite, if I say so myself.”

We will have to see if Maria Kanellis eventually attends AEW in some capacity in the future after the recent bitter experience with WWE. However, she is grateful to WWE for giving her and her husband an opportunity to work for the company. She was also the favorite of the former Raw creative head, Paul Heyman, too. Once he was fired, her status went downward on the roster.
