I'm intrigued as to how the guy whose shtick was "has a WWE-style in non-WWE places" actually fits into WWE.
Maria might also be a boon for the women's division.

They 'ought bring him in as an indie darling. Run videos of someone new coming to wwe, hype that he has held championships in the US, Japan, Mexico and around the world. He's sold out the Tokyo Dome and the former ECW Arena. He's been in the ring with the Hardys, KO, Nakamura, The Club, AJ Styles and Drew McIntyre to name a few.
Get people buzzing and then intro Mike Bennett. Make his whole deal that he did it the right way but no one cares because (smart stereotype).

Honestly it'd be a good deconstruction of Cena's typical, "You're not like me! You're not a REAL wrestler!" thing, in a way. Could get a lot of mileage out of him being bitter toward all the indie darlings of the world and targeting them because he fits all the same criteria but never gets the appreciation for it.

I still wonder if Bennett hadn't chose TNA, and Taven hadn't busted his knee when he did, if we'd have some sort of the Kingdom in WWE right now.

Well they will not be on screen 200x times a night and Maria will not be forced to cut 10 mins promos so there's that.

It's kind of unfortunate that none of WWE's Former Indie Guys (TM) have been in the E long enough to have that "Long-time established vet" status in order to play the Cena role against him, though. (Bryan would if he was in any condition to have WWE clear him.) Sami is as close as it gets on SDL. Or you could flip it around and have Baron do his "Who the hell are you? I've never even heard of you." schtick.

Wasn't Maria saying that she was gonna leave the wrestling business?

I am hyped. I don't watch TNA and I recently ran out of Ambien so this will do nicely.

I think they're a good duo. Mike's a bit bland and Maria's got more charisma but that's sort of what managers are for in the first place, isn't it? I liked Bennett in ROH anyways. Saying Bennett is a bit bland is like saying the Pacific Ocean is a bit wet.

You know what? We can mock Bennett all we want, the current Number One Contenders for Smackdowns World title include Rawley, Ziggler, Mahal, and Erick Rowan
Bennett's a running joke of being bland and all but he helps out the roster depth of Smackdown by default, and should be a solid hand all things considered

Mike "Eddie Edwards has more personality than me" Bennett That is simply a lie. Eddie Edwards has less personality than Apollo Crews.

It's funny tho. If Dixie or Corgan was still around in power I still believe they would be in TNA clogging up all the camera time with Allie never getting her hands on Maria. Since they were not the main point of Impact anymore and WWE is showing interest, now they can probably be used in a better way. Through all the jokes, it has been said if you put him in the right role he will be better so we shall see
Also he had the roid gut going on before he left Impact so I hope he took care of that

BRAUN should immediately throw Mike Bennett in a dumpster upon his arrival.

When we said we wanted Mike and his wife back on SmackDown, this is not who we meant.

I don't know much about him but I'm not gonna judge someone for being 'shit in TNA'.

I couldn't care less about Mike 'My Own Mother Couldn't Pick Me Out of A Lineup' Bennett. I just want Maria to come back as the loveable ditz that she used to be.

Mike "gets a thrill from cleaning the lint trap from the clothes dryer" Bennett.
