It seems that a few WWE Superstars could be on their way out the door, as it was recently reported that Mike and Maria Kanellis and The Revival have requested to be released from their WWE contracts. Maria recently indicated that she’s excited to be part of the Rising Stars DLC pack for WWE 2K19 on Twitter, and a fan responded by asking, “Why you so excited? You asked to leave the company.” Maria didn’t deny that she requested her release, but she did respond with the following:
Everyone thinks they know everything. Hahahahaha…. it’s social media not an autobiography. https://t.co/5wlyJgzfF1

Maria then decided to do a fact check and clear up some rumors regarding her and Mike’s run with WWE.
Social Media Fact Check: Mike NEVER went to rehap ANYWHERE. He was on the road with me rehabbing. We were on house shows. He never took time off to rehab. He worked through it.

Social Media Fact Check: I worked for WWE for 6 years before I got pregnant. I worked in sports entertainment for 14 years before having a baby.

Social Media Fact Check: WWE has been SUPER supportive of me being a mother and a superstar!
