Maria Kanellis shared an update on Instagram, as she said that her surgery was coming up, and her AEW contract was set to expire on October 31st as well.

“Hello, it’s been a little bit since I’ve checked in. We’re getting close to my surgery, and we’re within 20 days of it at this point. This week, I have an ultrasound, I have genetic testing, and I also am meeting with my surgeon to make a plan and hopefully start discussing what time of day we’ll be doing the surgery and if we’re going through the front or though the back. So I’m trying to not focus too much on that, and also my contract with AEW is coming up October 31st. I’ve reached out to them to find out whether or not they are going to be signing me, but I haven’t really heard anything yet, so of course that is weighing on me as well. But because it’s that time of year where it’s spooky season, I’m trying to focus on that. Today, I’m gonna work on some outdoor Halloween decorations because the rest of it, I can’t control right now. I can’t control, I can’t control the surgery. But what I can do is make some wonderful memories for my kids, so today, that is going to be my focus is making my kids happy," Kanellis said.

Kanellis, who made her AEW debut in October 2022, previously said that she felt unfulfilled with her career. She also said that things were coming up in November, and there was an option.

Update: Kanellis then took to Twitter/X on October 8th and wrote that she would be accepting interviews about her time and treatment in AEW after October 31st. She stated that she would be able to start taking bookings six weeks after her surgery, meaning the second week in December.
