As reported earlier, WWE Superstar Mike Kanellis has requested his release from the company. He posted an open letter on social media to let the fans know about it. These also fuelled up rumors whether his wife Maria Kanellis decided to step forward in the same path. Apparently, that is not the case as the first-ever pregnant 24/7 Champion clarified the same in an Instagram post.

In the latest post, Maria Kanellis revealed that she is standing by what her husband has to offer regarding his WWE career. But it does not mean she will be leaving alongside her, too. Here’s more from the post,
“1. Family first. 2. I love and support my husband. 3. I make no apologies for either of my pregnancies. 4. Mike never went to rehab nor did WWE pay for it. 5. Mikes addiction was from about September 2013-July 2017. 6. We debuted in June 2017. 7. He never took time off. 8. I have not asked for my release. 9. You can unfollow me at any time if you don’t like what I stand for. 10. Suck it. P.S. Have a nice day!”

The pregnancy angle of Maria Kanellis has been the most controversial on Monday Night Raw during the timespan of the past few months. It was way back in June that the red-haired Diva announced that she is expecting a child with her husband Mike Kanellis. It happened during a mixed tag team match against Seth Rollins and Becky Lynch that had the WWE Universe’s attention. Maria’s sudden turn-on against her husband was also surprising.
The same attitude continued as Mike failed to pick up any significant win on WWE programming and thereby failed to be an example to the unborn baby. A frustrated Maria Kanellis then organized a gender revealing part on WWE Raw, last week that many of the superstars attended. She shocked the world again by pronouncing that Ricochet is the father of the child! But that was not true as Maria admitted after sometimes. It was just an effort to encourage her husband to be man enough.

But another twist was in-store on WWE Raw when Maria Kanellis came out to blast Mike for her loss against Ricochet. She then went on to reveal the real father of her unborn child who appeared to be a returning Rusev. The Bulgarian Brute then man-handled Mike to squash Mike in a match. Social media went into a frenzy after this as Rusev is married to Lana and what her exact relation could be with Maria. Later, Maria revealed that Rusev was not the father as a new storyline picked up featuring Bobby Lashley and Lana.
