Maria Kanellis-Bennett announced on social media that today (1/31) marked her last day with AEW.
Kanellis-Bennett’s time with the company was largely centered around appearing alongside husband Mike Bennett as part of The Kingdom, later working as a manager with the pairing of Cole Karter and Griff Garrison in ROH in 2023.
Before signing with AEW, she had competed in WWE from 2004 to 2010 and returned alongside the debuting Bennett in 2017, before both were released in 2020.
In an earlier (and since deleted) post, Kanellis-Bennett stated she would be in Indianapolis for the weekend, though later posts would seemingly clarify that she is appearing at WrestleCon in the area.
Whether or not she appears at WWE Royal Rumble, which takes place February 1 from Lucas Oil Stadium, the former 24/7 Champion did note that she was very excited for the next phase in her life, following the birth of her second child in February 2020.
