Additional names officially released by WWE

It was announced earlier today that WWE would be either letting go on placing some of their employees on furlough (leave of absence). This is as a result of cutting costs as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Sarah Logan was the first female in-ring talent that has been released from the company. Since then, two additional women from the company have been officially released.

Kanellis returned to WWE in 2017 along with her husband Mike Bennett. Their gimmick was surrounded by the vision of “the power of love.” Mike would also adopt Kanellis’ last name within the company. They both spent the majority of their time on 205 Live. Maria would be brought into the 24/7 Championship chase where she would win the title from her husband only to lose it back to him.

She also participated in the women’s Royal Rumble in 2019 and was also in the Battle Royal at the Evolution pay-per-view in 2018. Maria is currently out on leave from having her second child prior to her release. Mike has also been released by the company. Both had recently signed new five-year deals.

Since there will unfortunately be more releases coming from the company, please check back with this post to see updates throughout this trying time.

Diva Dirt wishes the best for all the talent/employees being released by the company.
