Maria Kanellis Leaving Pro Wrestling In The Near Future – Details

Oct 31, 2016

Maria Kanellis isn’t long for the world of professional wrestling. The WWE alumna and TNA Knockout took to Twitter today to comment vaguely on the ruling in Billy Corgan’s lawsuit against TNA as well as her own plans going forward.

Kanellis, whose husband Mike Bennett took a shot at TNA following the ruling by saying “Welp, back to bad business as usual,” revealed on Twitter that she plans on leaving the industry and will use the Bachelor’s degree she went back to school to get, which she will be done with in May. She plans to continue on and get her Master’s degree.

Maria joined TNA with Bennett in January of this year.

News, any news doesn't ever tell the whole story. It will be an interesting next couple months.What I know is I am leaving wrestling soon.

I'm not exactly sure when but that's why I went back to school. I am done in May with my bachelors. And then, I'm on to my masters degree.
