Maria Kanellis has released a statement denying that she requested her release from WWE.

Pro Wrestling Sheet reported this week that she and Mike Kanellis asked WWE to release them from their contracts. According to Maria, however, that’s not entirely true.

“I DID NOT ask for my release,” she wrote on Instagram. “Speculation and rumors are running rampant. Someone is playing all the wrestling news sites.”

For what it’s worth, we’ve had multiple sources confirm the story. Plus, additional publications have since confirmed their request was denied.

It’s also worth noting that we reached out to the couple for comment prior to publishing the article and were told there’d be no comment.
