10 WWE Stars Who Are Unhappy Right Now

6. Maria Kanellis

Maria Kanellis is all sorts of pissed off. She might deny that - several sub-tweeters do this, having drawn precisely the sort of attention they sought for - but the evidence is mounting.

Pro Wrestling Sheet revealed earlier this year that both Mike and Maria Kanellis had requested their releases. Maria denied the (corroborated) report, claiming that "someone is playing all the wrestling news sites", but her subsequent social media activity paints a picture of a performer unhappy in her role. Excluded from WWE's celebratory Women's History Month video - "Great video!! I think you forgot me?" - Maria also stamped the dreaded "This." when retweeting Naomi's recent rant at the state of SmackDown's Women's division.

Maria is unhappy with her role - but, arguably, WWE is not the best fit for the choice work she crafted throughout her Ring of Honor renaissance. Unlike so much of wrestling's history (see: about 88% of WWE's entire oeuvre), Maria didn't cravenly, clumsily weld sexuality onto the product; she used it, in the perfect, contrasting pure wrestling context, to put the heat on her man and create a maelstrom of Karl Anderson memes.

Decidedly un-PG, those antics aren't for WWE under its drive for progressivism - and her husband's fading fortunes might account for the complete absence of her job in her Twitter bio.

But you can book her (?) at mariakanellisbookings@gmail.com, which John Oliver might find odd.
