Maria Kanellis weighed in on the fan criticism over her getting pregnant while she was with WWE, the upcoming ROH Women division tournament and more in a new interview. Kanellis spoke with Wrestling Epicenter, and the show sent us some highlights and the full video as you can see below:
On re-signing with Ring of Honor: “So, after getting fired last year (from WWE), I was only 2 months postpartum after having my son. With the pandemic and everything, we decided that we were going to take a step back from everything. Mike was going to get back out there and do some things but we really didn’t know what was going to happen with the pandemic so we just took a step back from everything. Then, when the time was right, Ring of Honor brought a fantastic opportunity to me and that was to head up the Women’s Division. At this point of my career, I really want to give back to women’s wrestling and women’s wrestlers. This was just the right opportunity.”
