A few WWE superstars recently wanted to leave WWE and requested their release from the company and this included Mike Kanellis and Maria Kanellis. Maria spoke on this matter on Twitter.
Mike Kanellis and Maria Kanellis requested their release from WWE which was reported by Pro Wrestling Sheet. This news broke sometime after it was reported that The Revival also asked for their release. However, it should be noted that simply because they asked for a release, does not mean WWE will grant it to them.
Maria expressed her delight on being a downloadable character in WWE 2K19. One fan then asked why she was so happy if she requested her release. Here is what Maria said:
Everyone thinks they know everything. Hahahahaha…. it’s social media not an autobiography. https://t.co/5wlyJgzfF1

Maria also spoke regarding information that Mike had taken time off to go to rehab.
Social Media Fact Check: Mike NEVER went to rehap ANYWHERE. He was on the road with me rehabbing. We were on house shows. He never took time off to rehab. He worked through it.
