Maria Kanellis is pregnant with her and Mike Bennett’s second child. She made this announcement on Raw this week and a lot of people thought it was part of the show, but it’s very real.
Before Maria Kanellis left, she made it seem like this was an angle as she buried her husband on her way out. She said that Mike isn’t man enough to get her pregnant and even suggested that she let Becky Lynch get her pregnant next time around. Interestingly enough, this comes just two weeks after the couple signed new five-year WWE contracts worth $250,000 each per year.
Brad Shepard reported on Oh, You Didn’t Know that one source he spoke with in WWE wasn’t happy with Maria Kanellis at all about this. They called them “sh*t” and continued to say that a push shouldn’t be expected any time soon.
>“According to a source in WWE, the company is upset about Maria announcing her pregnancy after her and her husband re-signed new contracts. The source described them as ‘sh*t’ and said ‘not to expect a significant push anytime soon.’
Maria Kanellis will probably be gone for another nine months at least, but she made a return to the ring in very rapid fashion after their first child was born. It seemed as though WWE could have been preparing an angle for this real-life pregnancy and since Paul Heyman wants to focus on long-term stories this could fit into his plans perfectly.
Only time will tell how everything turns out, but it is important to remember that we don’t even know when Mike and Maria Kanellis found out the pregnancy either. So they very well might not have been able to tell WWE before re-signing new contracts if they simply didn’t know themselves.
Yeah I don't think they're in the business for working their bodies to sawdust and already got those suckers money anyway.

Kayden Thompson
Lol what do they care they’re getting paid $500k/year for the next 5
Nicholas Peterson
yawn call me when metlz reports it
Lucas Parker
But WWE must keep signing shitters to that big league money.
Aaron Gray
That's about $60k a year after travel and health insurance
Hudson Butler
They are literally being pushed right now by sharing the screen with the top stars in the company.
Jeremiah Bennett
Based Maria Kanellis and her husband carnying the McSimp family and Triple Simp.
Caleb Price
>not to expect a significant push anytime soon so they are in exactly the same position as they've been in for the last 2 years
Based Maria out carnying the carnie motherfucker McMahons.
Isaac Nelson
This, Maria and Mike totally read the field with AEW hype and used it to out work the workers
Nicholas Brown
Imagine offering then 250k a year each. Imagine thinking AEW would pay anywhere near that for these two.
Luis Bell
>Brad Shepard But seriously how is this any different than before? I didn't even know they were still with WWE until they randomly showed up a few weeks back.
Joseph Richardson

Christopher Johnson
Grift Queen Kanellis
Lucas Cooper
Its pretty clear theyre happy just collecting checks
Owen Clark
I actually liked the cuck angle. It was more story than anything we’ve seen from this company in that past two years
Elijah Gomez
>Brad Shepard
Bentley Thomas
Based Maria Kanellis out-carnying the carny king Vince.
Mike and Maria don't give a single fuck about being pushed, they're getting paid to sit at home and raise kids AGAIN. Mike is 34, he's not going to a workrate fed. Honestly fucking based, good move on their part.
Aaron King
If Ambrose isn't able to generate that big of a buzz outside after being on the upper midcard for years, what made Vince think these jabronis could? Pure retardation on his part. But I guess he's going to let all his anger out on that cuck in these months and make sure he gets treated 10x worse than EC3
Nicholas Nelson
Trips is obsessed with collecting former NJPW real life action figures, he just didn't want them to go anywhere else than his own personal horde.
Jackson Jackson
Getting 250k paid leave. WWE is getting worked by its own workers because WWE fears The AEW!
Cooper Richardson
this. Carnies get mad when they get masterfully outcarnied.
Hudson Thompson
Is Maria, dare I say it, the greatest worker of the modern era?
Josiah Garcia

Blake Anderson
That's cool, if only I had any reason to like her then I could be happy for her security but alas she looks like a hag and has no redeeming personality
Jordan Taylor
>Brad Shepard
Owen Smith
>Getting paid to wrestle a house show once a month Is this supposed to be a punishment?
Blake Johnson
This might very well be the stupidest fucking take I've ever seen
>they won't be pushed anytime soon >literally just got the biggest push of their WWE career appearing on RAW and getting significant screen time with the main event players
Jose Diaz
what if she keeps getting knocked up for five years?
Anthony Rogers
I really admire their ability to hustle vince
Connor Garcia
>being buried by your wife is a push if the top stars are there to laugh at you for it
Parker Collins
>Shad Gaspard
Caleb Myers
Not when Maria is getting paid to stay home.
Elijah Gonzalez
>Chad Breitbart
Tyler Cook
Appearing on tv doesn't mean it's a push. They were there to humiliate Maria's husband as if he gives a fuck
Zachary Torres
Travel is a write off though, same as food
Joshua Bailey
This is the second time they've done this, absolutely hilarious
Jeremiah Fisher
Brap Kekpard
Leo Richardson
>brad shepard HAHAHAHAHA
Nicholas Roberts
95% of Yea Forums doesn't have a job so they wouldn't know shit about taxes.
Chase Cruz
it's a push compared to never being seen or heard from and it's not any more embarrassing than what they put nearly everyone else through, they geek out all their talents in some way
Julian Stewart
does it not occur to wwe they can just fire them?
Gabriel Wood
For what? Also firing a pregnant woman and her husband leaving them without income for the baby is to a good look at all.
Cameron Lee
Vince is impressed by their carny skills Probably remind him of the good old days
Jordan Walker
They've got a blood money deal with saudi arabia who gives a shit about not a good look? The whole point of independent contractors is to fire them whenever you want. They used to do it all the time.
James Jones
You can't fire pregnant women in today's climate you autist, they would lose sponsors
Juan Turner
People care more about a pregnant woman being fired than they do about dead Arabs thousands of miles away.
Isaiah Nguyen
Played Vince like a fiddle....twice.
Thomas Wilson
They broke the carny code and for that, Vince will make them suffer
Gabriel Robinson
>unironically caring about "blood money"
Carson Gutierrez
They fired Kharma when she got pregnant
Levi Flores
Kharma isn't hot and white, that was 6 years ago and they actually fired her for getting too fat.
Wyatt Baker
No wonder Saudis have so much money, they’re living in your head rent free
>took an over-bloated corporation for a ride, worth a million bucks, while breeding white children, and doing minimal work
Absolutely fucking based.
Josiah Robinson
Jokes on the Executive, the Kanellis' never expected or cared to get a push or TV time.. They're clearly setting up security for their family and nothing more. 5 years from now they both retire and raise their family.. Without a care in the world and a pocket full of money.
If this is real, it's the equivalent of yelling "YOURE FIRED" after your employee already quits.
Brandon Kelly
I want Maria to stomp on my balls
Gabriel Cook
WWE have been worked like absolute simps because they got worried about AEW, it's hilarious. I bet they saw the 'Buy In' and instantly regretted the huge contracts they've given all the jobbers.
Nicholas Turner
>the couple signed new five-year WWE contracts worth $250,000 each per year zero chance they are making that, they might make 250k combined and that's the upside, their downside guarantee is probably like 125k combined.
Gavin Carter
Ya boy Vince got out carnied just accept it
Angel Butler
$250k is where I wipe my asses with that shit. The Kanelis can do better than that which they will. I hope they get paid more outside WWE or push their raise contracts 5% percent or better.
Jaxson Morris
>Brap Cheddar
Robert Harris
Mike's sperm is BASED
Logan Parker
These, just show up, do some low effort wrestling and collect your money. It's not like they would get a bigger push either way, so they've just accepted their job status. I don't know what they're doing with their money, but if they were smart they would invest it or something, so that they can retire early
