Mike Kanellis made his return to WWE TV last night on 205 Live for the first time since requesting his release in October.
Kanellis teamed up with Tony Nese to defeat Ariya Daivari & Brian Kendrick.
Kanellis has been teaming up with Nese at NXT house shows since last month.
Mike and Maria Kanellis signed new five year contracts in June of 2019. WWE refused to grant him his release request.
HE'S BACK! ❤️
