An AEW talent's deal is scheduled to be up at the end of January as things stand.
Maria noted recently that her AEW deal would expire at the end of October. However, while inquiring about an update, we’re told that the two sides actually agreed to a short extension that would benefit both sides, which runs through January. We're told there was supposed to be an announcement regarding the deal, but it didn't end up happening.
Maria Kanellis has worked as a wrestler in previous years, but hasn’t competed since 2019. Since then, she’s worked in a variety of roles, including creative in the women’s division during the SBG era of ROH. In AEW/ROH she worked as a manager in recent years, but we’re told was open to helping out with women’s creative as well.
