Former WWE Diva Maria Kanellis spoke on the Joe Cronin Show about CM Punk’s decision to leave WWE and head to the UFC. Maria mentioned when she heard the news on how Punk left the company, she wasn’t shocked.
“Did I think he would leave WWE that way? I had a hunch. He’s a very strong person. When you beat someone up that long without some humanity, it takes a toll. I did that schedule but not like he did. Your body gets beat up. People who want to criticize him, try it for one weekend.”
She also talked about Punk’s idea to bring up endorsement deals, and Maria was asked about double standards within the company.
“Some people’s voices get heard more than others, just like any business. A lot of it has to do with timing. Right place, right time and it’s yours. I think it happens a lot, just like anywhere else.”
