Former WWE Diva and Her Husband Possibly Leaving ROH, Likely Entering Negotiations with Lucha Underground & TNA

January 9, 2015

According to The Wrestling Observer, former WWE Diva Maria Kanellis and her husband Mike Bennett are currently working without contracts in Ring of Honor as their deals have expired.

As of now, Kanellis and Bennett are expected to continue working with Ring of Honor as they negotiate with the deals, and they are both scheduled to work tours of Japan later in the year.

There is a feeling, however, that in addition to negotiating with ROH, Kanellis and Bennett will soon begin negotiations with both Lucha Underground and TNA.

Kanellis was released from WWE back in February of 2010, and signed with Ring of Honor in December of 2011. Bennett has been working for Ring of Honor on and off since 2008, and in October of last year he and Kanellis got married.

Nick was born and raised in Detroit, Michigan, and lived there until the age of 18, when he decided to pack his flack jacket and move to New York City.

Nick attended New York University and graduated in 2001 with a degree in Drama.

Nick first entered the internet wrestling community back in 2004 when he became the co-host of The Voice of Wrestling Radio Show. From there, Nick made the transition from radio personality to editor when he began working with WrestleZone in 2008.

Nick is a member of two Off-Broadway theatre companies, Another Urban Riff, and the Drama Desk Award winning Godlight Theatre Company. Nick has appeared in over a dozen Off-Broadway plays since he moved to New York City, and has shot several short and feature length films. In 2010, he completed principle photography on a film titled "How to Score Your Life," which also features TNA Knockout ODB.

Inspiration in his life has come from many people including his family, Woody Allen, Steven Spielberg, Jack Nicholson, The Beatles, and of course, Lassie.
