A former WWE star and 20-year wrestling veteran’s career has “effectively ended,” according to the star.

Maira Kanellis started her wrestling journey in 2004 after participating in WWE’s Diva Search. The star then started in a backstage interviewer role before slowly transitioning to become a wrestler. The star lasted in WWE till 2009 before going to Ring of Honor, TNA, NJPW, another WWE stint, and a stint with AEW that ended this year. It is needless to say that Kanellis is one of the most respected veterans of the industry and has a lot of fans.

However, multiple health issues have forced Maria Kanellis to call it a day on her career.

Former WWE Star Maria Kanellis Issues A Statement About Her Career

Taking to X/Twitter, the former TNA Knockouts Champion wrote that she had suffered a lot of health issues, including a life-threatening tumor and skin cancer polyps. The star then added that she was having a third child, but effectively ended her 20-year career in January earlier this year.

In the past few years Iâ€ve had half my thyroid removed, a rare life threatening tumor removed along with my adrenal gland, skin cancer, polyps removed, and now I am having my third baby. In January, my 20 year career effectively ended which is another story. I am not ready to leave wrestling completely that way but Iâ€m not ready to go back. But when I am ready maybe it will be behind the scenes, with @WWrestlingArmy, or something else but I owe it to my younger self to have a better ending. She worked hard to start this journey and I would like to finish it with respect to that little girls dream.”

We would like to wish former WWE star Maria Kanellis all the best in her wrestling journey and would also like to congratulate her and Mike Bennett on their third child.
