Maria Kannellis made her return to WWE at Sunday’s Money in the Bank pay-per-view and she wasn’t alone. The former Diva Search contestant was joined by her husband, Mike Bennett. Bennett is being referred to as Mike Kannellis and the duo is now officially members of the SmackDown roster.
WWE.com notes, “Maria wasted no time reintroducing herself to the WWE Universe, claiming that she had finally fulfilled her seven-year search for the perfect partner. With Maria & Mike united on the blue brand, they proclaimed it was time to teach SmackDown LIVE about the power of love.”
Paul Heyman congratulated the duo:
