A few weeks ago WWE released a number of talents, and both Mike Bennett and his wife Maria Kanellis were among the talents released.
Now everyone is waiting to see what Mike and Maria are going to do when their non-compete clause expires, but in the meantime Mike has been talking wrestling.
He recently spoke to Fightful about a number of topics, and at one point he explained why he thinks the piledriver will eventually return in WWE.
“I know the piledriver’s not allowed. I think they understand to a sense, especially with NXT, they understand where the way wrestling is trending and they understand that to still hook those fans they have to have those kinds of matches. There’s so many guys on that roster that can have those types of matches that it’s gonna be very difficult to tell them, “Okay, you have 20 minutes, but you can’t do this move, this move, this move and that move. So, I think it’s starting to leak in.
Honestly, and don’t quote me on this, but I would be shocked if you don’t see a piledriver soon. Or you don’t see Kevin [Owens] doing the package piledriver. Eventually they’ll go, “Alright, do it. Just do it. Leave us alone and do it.” Because you just see every time someone says, “That’s never going to happen,” it’s a guarantee it’s going to happen. Because that’s the way it goes. You start to see these moves leak in and leak in and leak in. So, yeah, I think before you know it, you’ll be able to do every single move you want.”
Do you think WWE should bring back the piledriver? Sound off in the comments below.
