The greatest love wanted out of WWE.
Ryan Satin of Pro Wrestling Sheet reports that Mike and Maria Kanellis recently requested their releases from WWE. The couple has reportedly been unhappy with how they've been used by the company and requested to be released from their contracts "a few weeks ago."
Mike and Marie signed with WWE in April 2017 and made their debut as a couple at Money in the Bank in June. The couple entered in a feud with Sami Zayn, which ended at Battleground in July. Since then, they have been used sparing on WWE television and have mostly been regulated to Main Event. In September, the couple announced that they were pregnant with their first child.
In October 2017, a mini-documentary was produced highlighting Mike Kanellis and his struggle with addiction.
The Kanellis' debuted on 205 Live in October 2018 but a move to the brand did not mean a renewed push. Mike Kanellis last wrestled on WWE television on the Jan. 5 episode of 205 Live, teaming with TJP in a loss to Lucha House Party.
Recently, Mike Kanellis started selling new shirts on Pro Wrestling Tees.
Satin reports that just because the Kanellis' requested their release does not mean they will be released.
Fightful has confirmed that the release request was made.
