Maria Kanellis opens up on CM Punk and her time in WWE
Oral Sessions with Renee Paquette recently spoke to Maria Kanellis about several subjects, including her association with Paul Heyman. That partnership didn’t end at all once Kanellis was fired by WWE. She also spoke about the time she dated ‘The Second City Savior’.
“It’s funny because I still work with him,” Kanellis said. “I ask him stuff. I want his feedback, I want to know what he thinks. When I started in wrestling, I worked originally down in Ohio Valley Wrestling. Paul was writing the show. He invited me to come early and read the script and see what he had planned out for other people. I was dating (CM) Punk at the time, so it was both of them that I was literally getting an education on wrestling and the history of wrestling. Every part of wrestling, I was learning from both of them.
“I’ve always had a fantastic relationship with Paul. We butt heads, of course we do, but I think that’s what I like. He’s a person that will challenge me on something, and he also thinks like I can conquer mountains. And so I do. I said to him the other day, I said ‘I hope I’m doing a good job. I hope I’m successful.’ And he’s like ‘you already are.’ I was like ‘yeah! I am!’”
We’ll have to see if Maria Kanellis gets involved in a future photo shoots for Paul Heyman’s brand.
