Maria Kanellis is forming an army.
Maria Kanellis has come a long way since portraying an extremely naive backstage correspondent on WWE programming over a decade ago. On and off-camera, Maria Kanellis has transitioned into one of the embodiments of empowerment within the wrestling industry.
In addition to her time as an on-screen manager to her husband, Mike Bennett, Maria also was very active and instrumental in the Ring of Honor women's division relaunch that occurred in 2021. Now, Maria has revealed in a new tweet that she is starting a new project called “Women's Wrestling Army.
The tweet features a video of Maria outlining her mission with this new project.
The journey, it's 1,000 seemingly insignificant decisions. It's the wrong turns, the dead ends, the climb, the process the successes, and the failures. It’s the word, ‘no.’ The next ‘no.’ A million beating drums inside your mind that say, ‘no’. A hated word, ‘diva,’ that defined your career. Can you small-town girl, Diva, turn that ‘no’ into a simple but almost unattainable word, ‘yes.’
Yes, you can transition from small-town girl turned Diva to manager, mother, producer — to produce change, changing ever so slightly, to keep up with my less experienced contemporaries to remain relevant for them, to create opportunities for them. Crafting a craft that is in the position with the possibility to overturn or overtake an industry with professional wrestling. What's next? CEO, BOD. Let's create an army. A Women's Wrestling Army.
What’s Next?!?https://t.co/YXQ5w7W7fk pic.twitter.com/w5BIqcqRAT
