That's a pretty recent person to do a feature on. One small thing I like about current WWE - if a diva has been around for years, she gets a send-off. Sometimes it's relatively big (like Eve) or small like (Beth, Kaitlyn) but it's something. There's a segment acknowledging that they will no longer be around. Mickie, Melina and Maria just disappeared from TV one week. I know they were fired but I feel like if it happened today, they'd get some sort of send-off. I like when WWE do write off angles too when they can. But, it could be more to do with the reasons behind their departure. With Mickie and Maria's I believe being due to contract disputes/wanting to do outside work then tensions are high at that very instant and perhaps in the immediate its better to just move on without acknowledgement. Why was Melina released? Was it contract related or otherwise? With Eve and Beth I imagine WWE knew for a while that they would be leaving and with their blessing (I imagine they worked the rest of their contacts and chose not to renew rather than ask for releases). Same goes for Vickie too. So a more pleasant relationship politically may allow for a send off angle on TV.

Some people may disagree but I love her in ROH. Not just because she's hot either although goddamn, she be banging. I really like the Kingdom and the act she has going with Mike Bennett. Yeah, she's somehow managed to get hotter, as well as actually getting a character and being a decent performer. I'd be totally ok with her going back to WWE.

She's since mostly retired which is a shame.

I remember back in the day, someone took a video of Smackdown Vs. Raw 2008's career mode of Matt Hardy (who for some reason was Maria's crazy ex?-boyfriend/stalker in that game) kidnapping Maria and edited in Matt Hardy's theme song at the end when he's dragging her off. I don't know why, but it was strangely hilarious.
Anyway, I do miss her in WWE. She was one of the few WWE divas that had a natural charisma to her.

I will never forgive Maria for her atrocious presenting of Savage's first DVD. She completely ruins it. I've always suspected it was deliberate by WWE

I advised her and her significant other to take a relaxing vacation. My exact words were, "Let off some steam, Bennett!" This is in no way a convoluted set up to a reference. you should have told him to take The Edge off

My apologies, I posted images of Maria without mentioning her freakish tongue. I am so ashamed. Maria could never wrestle, but neither can the Bellas really... I say bring in Bennett and Maria. Hell, once Bryan's healed up Vince can book a 3-way intergender tag match with Nikki and John as well. I don't care, I just miss Maria. Where does this come from about the Bellas? They are perfectly fine in the ring.

They are perfectly fine in the ring. They're "perfectly fine" grading on the WWE curve, but that doesn't make them good. Besides their promo skills I have nothing against them and I actually find them entertaining. They are pretty and fairly athletic as well (which is all the WWE requires), but as far as in-ring work they are in the category of "models trained just enough to pass as wrestlers".

She was just so *likeable* in WWE. That's extremely hard to pull off.

She was last seen being tossed out of a battle royal (the same one Gail Kim just walked out of, which immediately led to her quitting the WWE) about 2 seconds in while tying up her boot. I will never forget that.

Where she is now is Ring of Honor. Where she NEEDS to be is back in WWE.

She was just so *likeable* in WWE. That's extremely hard to pull off. Absolutely this. Looks aside, freakishly long tongue aside, she has a natural charisma that makes her so damn likeable. It's a charisma that the Bellas and Paige would kill for. That AJ has but in a miniscule amount compared to Maria. It's something intangible and not trainable.
