Mike and Maria Kanellis had been released from WWE on April 15th with so many others what was shown as a budget cut for the company due to the ongoing coronavirus pandemic. Around 50 employees from the company were trimmed to keep the profit margin intact. While it was a brave and needed decision on behalf of the company, superstars weren’t happy with the decision.
Especially, Maria Kanellis has not forgotten about how the company let her go, and how they treated her and her husband for their entire tenure since 2016. She went on a rant on several occasions about the way she was mistreated and ignored despite ideas coming out of her brain. They didn’t even bother about her maternity while releasing her.

Maria Kanellis Goes On A Rant About WWE Not Protecting The Superstars
Maria Kanellis recently tweeted out that her insurance depends on Joe Biden winning the presidential election. She wrote, “as an “independent contractors” my husband’s, mine, and our two babies healthcare depends on it. Insurance companies don’t really like insuring wrestlers.”

One fan tweeted out to Maria Kanellis as he wanted to know whether WWE ever provided insurance. Perhaps the self-proclaimed First Lady was just waiting for this question to vent out frustrations on her former employer.
“No. No benefits, no vacation time, no unemployment, no union, no childcare, no retirement, and we pay for our own rental car, food, tolls, etc… all expenses are paid by us and not reimbursed by WWE,” stated the mom of two babies.
Andrew Yang recently promised that if Joe Biden wins the presidential election then he will fight to change how Vince McMahon does business in the WWE. The strong desire from Maria Kanellis was directed to these words, only. The former Playboy Cover Girl herself may not be able to experience the changes but she must be welcoming the change for others.
Apart from covering the adultery magazine, Maria Kanellis is best known as the first-ever and only WWE 24/7 Champion while being pregnant. Starting from 2006, her first stint in the WWE continued until 2010 when she was released from the company for the first time. She re-joined WWE in 2016 with husband Mike Kanellis by his side and the stint ended earlier this year.
