MARIA KANELLIS

Veteran of WWE, TNA, All Elite Wrestling, and Ring of Honor, Kanellis became known for her 2009 Slammy Award for Diva of the Year and a 2008 Playboy pictorial. She entered AEW on the October 14, 2022, episode of Rampage alongside Mike Bennett and Matt Taven and spent three years with the Jacksonville promotion while managing various talents, though she felt unfulfilled in her time there.

Kanellis announced her departure from AEW on January 31, 2025. She underwent surgery after doctors discovered a tumor on her adrenal gland, and following the successful operation, was declared cancer-free. As of March 2025, she is enrolled in a Masters Degree Program at the University of Illinois, and stated she would be focused on family unless the right wrestling opportunity emerged.
