5 WWE Superstars who have allegedly asked for their release

#3 and #2 Maria and Mike Kanellis

PWInsider reported today that they have heard from several sources that Mike Kanellis requested his release from WWE three weeks ago, but was denied. PW Insider also states that there have been rumblings that Maria Kanellis had also asked for her release, but that they could not substantiate that to be any more than speculation.

Mike Kanellis was last seen on 205 Live programming on January 9th during a backstage vignette with Drake Maverick. It was a rare appearance, though, and Kanellis has been used sparingly for various reasons ever since he debuted at Money In The Bank alongside wife Maria.

Maria Kanellis made her in-ring return to WWE at Evolution having been off television due to pregnancy. She has also been used sparingly, and if rumours are to be believed, the pair are said to have asked for their release with a view to returning to ROH.
