Maria Kanellis Says She’s Been Asked By AEW Talent About Doing One More Match

Maria Kanellis is asked about potentially having one more match. 

Maria Kanellis has filled many roles during her time in wrestling, most notably becoming one of the premier managers in ROH. 

Though Maria has been at ringside and not in the ring for the majority of her career, she’s been in high profile matches and is a former TNA Knockouts Champion and WWE 24/7 Champion. 

Appearing at a Monopoly Events Q&A, Maria was asked who she would want to face if she had one more match. 

“It’s tough because there have been a few women in AEW that have asked. Deonna [Deonna Purrazzo] would be a good choice. Queen Aminata has said, ‘Come on, we’re both mothers, let’s do this.’ Queen is such an inspiration and that would be awesome. Toni [Toni Storm], for sure. There are too many. There is a lot. It’s tough because my daughter wants to see me wrestle one more time. At some point, maybe I’ll do it, but I can’t guarantee it’ll be good,” she said with a laugh. 

Maria has not wrestled since the July 1, 2019 episode of WWE Raw when she teamed with her husband Mike Bennett to face Becky Lynch & Seth Rollins. Maria didn’t get physical in the ring as she announced that she was pregnant during the middle of the match. 

Maria currently manages Cole Karter, Griff Garrison, Leyla Hirsch, and Rachael Ellering on ROH TV.
