Per Meltzer, Maria Kanellis was asked to return to the company recently, but some of the girls complained and the offer was pulled.
I'm guessing those all catty comments on Afterbuzz, about the Bellas, in particular, came back to haunt her.

You know what? If the Bellas hold so much power by proxy of being affiliated with Cena, then this alone made them coming back totally worth it.

She's killing Mike Bennett's career as we speak.

Daniel Bryan hates when people talk about his girlfriend.

Guess all that stuff about not burning bridges really holds true.

Mike Bennett hasn't done anything yet, so even if the story is true, there's no way to gauge, or even assume, what effect she's had on his chances in WWE. |

Just because he never won a world title, doesn't mean Morrison flopped. |

Just because he never won a world title, doesn't mean Morrison flopped. When they put him in the main event with Miz, he got decent reactions, but they were far from what you want from a main eventer. Worsened by the fact that he could not deliver a decent promo to save his life. I'm not saying that was the right way to push him, but that's how WWE pushes all their faces. He didn't fit the formula, and couldn't adapt to it to make it work. And that's on him, and about him--no one else. |

I think flop is a strong word, maybe he didn't live up to his expectations and physical potential, but I think he did well enough in the wwe to not be consider a true flop. |

Too bad for her career-wise, but if this is true she should just remember the old adage: don't shit where you eat. |

I think flop is a strong word, maybe he didn't live up to his expectations and physical potential, but I think he did well enough in the wwe to not be consider a true flop. A fair point, to be sure, though my main point stands. Eyes were on him to perform suitably as a main eventer and he just couldn't do it. He got a couple of chances, including a character repackaging which was designed for him to have to exert minimal effort to cut a promo, but he could never put all the pieces together to make everything work. And that's why he's not there now, and why he's doing relatively little on the indy circuit. It's even worse when considering the relatively scant accountability that he had for the quality of his performances, because he'd never take the blame for it (notice how he never seemed to have a problem with that). I think Bennett's WWE career, Maria or not, is going to be based around what he does. She'd be an easy scapegoat but she's not the one who will be wrestling his matches, cuts the promos or doing anything else on TV. How he gets treated by the company will be either on his own merits or whatever skewed view Vince or Steph have thereof. |

And that's why he's not there now, and why he's doing relatively little on the indy circuit. He's not in the WWE now because he got injured, and decided to take an extended amount of time off, so he didn't renew his contract. Lets not rewrite history here. And the WWE never billed him as a main eventer. If they wanted him as such, they would have put the title on him. The WWE didn't want him as a WWE champion at the time, which was why he didn't win it. Not because he couldn't make everything work. He was a hell of a lot more over than guys like Sheamus and Del Rio when they won their WWE titles. And he was putting on much better matches too. And a lack of mic skills only becomes a factor if you're not able to connect with the fans, which wasn't a problem with Morrison. |

I'm not going to continue in this thread simply to avoid a major digression from the topic, but...I'll explain.  Bennett is going to be fine if he's good enough. And if he's not, he'll flounder. Maria is small potatoes in the bigga pitcha. |

I don't see how Maria having heat with WWE divas would affect Mike Bennett's indy career in any way.
