After years in the company, this AEW star is set to part ways.
Earlier this year on October 24th, Maria Kanellis suffered a major health scare and underwent surgery for an adrenal gland mass. The former Knockouts Champion went under the knife for a retroperitoneoscopic adrenalectomy for the mass on her adrenal gland.
Now recovered and in better health, Kanellis recently announced her departure from the Jacksonville-based promotion. Sharing the unfortunate update on her social media, Kanellis wrote:
“This is my last day with AEW.”
In another now-deleted Tweet, she clarified that her husband Mike Bennett is still employed with the promotion. Maria Kanellis’ contract was originally set to expire in October 2024, but things changed and she was given an extension.
Joining back in 2022 and after a memorable run at the company, Kanellis has now bid adieu to the wrestling promotion.
