Maria Menounos is one of the most famous television personalities, actresses, and journalists around the Hollywood circuit who also has contributions in the sports-entertainment field. Almost twelve years ago, she made her first appearance in WWE on October 12, 2009, by starring as a guest host on Raw. It was also on that same night that she made her in-ring debut in a six-diva tag team match to prove her wrestling skills.
Nowadays, Maria Menounos had been busy in her personal life as she’s gearing up to become a mother in the near future. Henceforth, no expectation is there that she would soon be back in the WWE. However, her cordial relationship with the company remains strong and we never know when the company would like to use her again given she’s ready to resume her professional career after giving birth to her baby.

In a new interview with PEOPLE Magazine, the show host and occasional WWE contributor discussed a serious health scare as she enjoys the journey of motherhood. According to the published story, Maria Menounos was diagnosed with stage II pancreatic cancer in January, which led to surgery to remove a 3.9-centimeter tumor.

In addition to this, Maria Menounos had already dealt with a diagnosis of type 1 diabetes in early 2022 which was quickly diagnosed and cured but that led to the discovery of the tumor. The early diagnosis ensured that she didn’t have to suffer any kind of radiation or chemotherapy. However, the celebrity will still require annual scans for the next five years to monitor the results of the done surgery.
Moving forward in life, Maria Menounos and her husband planned on becoming parents and their implanted embryo in their surrogate had proven to be a success in February. Waiting for the baby girl, this is what she had to say in the interview,
“I’m so grateful and lucky. I’m going to appreciate having her in my life so much more than I would have before this journey.”
Maria Menounos has long stopped wrestling inside the squared circle. The greatest moment of her in-ring career occurred back at WrestleMania XXVIII. Teaming with Kelly Kelly, she defeated Eve Torres and Beth Phoenix. Her last match took place at a Summerslam Axxess in 2013, where she teamed with Natalya to defeat Brie Bella and Eva Marie in another tag team match.
