Maria Kanellis Hasn’t Closed The Door To Another Match: ‘You Never Know’

Maria Kanellis doesn’t think she’ll wrestle again any time soon, but she hasn’t closed the door on the matter. Kanellis hasn’t competed since 2019 during her last run with WWE, when she and her husband Mike Bennett lost a mixed tag team match to Seth Rollins and Becky Lynch.

Maria said on Insight With Chris Van Vliet that she’s not likely to return to the ring unless it’s the Royal Rumble of a WWE Evolution PPV, but would be opend to those possibilities. You can check out the highlights below:

On If the Door Is Still Open For Her To Wrestle:

“I don’t know. In wrestling, you never know. I haven’t closed the door, but it’s not always up to the person.”

On Being Able to Work a Match on the Indies:

“That’s true. Wrestling probably not, unless it’s like the Royal Rumble or another Evolution pay-per-view or something like that. But consistently wrestling? Probably not. I think it’s so much fun, and those girls took care of me so well the last time I was there, so that’s great. I got to look awesome in the ring, much better than I am. It was so much fun. But wrestling consistently, probably not. When I got into wrestling, it wasn’t for wrestling.”

On What She Got Into Wrestling For:

“I’m sure you remember this, but Jonathan Coachman and The Rock used to have the banter backstage, and I really wanted to be an interviewer. I loved it. I loved the banter. I loved the way of moving the conversation from one topic to the other. I loved that Jonathan Coachman could do one little thing, and it meant everything in the interview. So that’s what I wanted to do, and then somehow I ended up wrestling. But the interviewing part, the managing part, all of that, I really love.”
