The First Lady of Women’s Wrestling, Maria Kanellis, has faced a series of setbacks that have limited her appearances on live television. Last year, Kanellis underwent successful thyroid surgery.
Despite the positive outcome, Maria’s health challenges have persisted over the past year, resulting in fewer appearances on AEW and ROH and even candidly expressed her dissatisfaction with her position on their television programming.
Recently, a user on social media asked Maria Kanellis if she had taken retirement from the squared circle. The current ROH star took notice and responded via her X that the reason for her absence was not being featured as part of the programming, possibly by the higher-ups, and not due to retiring.
“No, just not being brought in.”
Maria Kanellis’ frank admission underscores her frustration with her current situation. Despite her efforts to advocate for herself, she has encountered significant obstacles. Her statement clearly indicates her eagerness to return to TV and for more substantial roles within the industry.
The wrestling community will undoubtedly be watching closely to see how this situation develops. Maria Kanellis’ passion for the sport is evident, and her fans are hopeful that she will soon find a role that allows her to shine in Tony Khan’s company.
