Not to knock him down, since he does seem like a genuinely nice guy in real life. But it's pretty clear who wears the pants in their relationship. I don't suspect Mike "not appearing on this brand" Bennett would have many problems even only playing a bit-role in the biggest wrestling company in the world. Maria though, often comes off like a total glory hound who seems to believe she's more important than she is. I'm reminded of that time before she was rehired where she started shit-talking the Bellas to put her name back out there. It was just sad. Hey I’d be more than happy to let Maria wear the pants if I was tapping that every night.

He was good in ROH when he had the Kingdom to work with. Which also, incredibly, makes Matt "Matt Heafy Impersonator" Taven look better. Over time I've really grown to appreciate The Kingdom way more then I did when they were around. They really were a great example of the whole being greater then the sum of its parts. Each person had a role in it, they played it well, and it all came together. Once they were separated they all suffered. Even Adam Cole went down a couple of steps as he went from badass leader of his own faction to second-tier Bullet Club member having to take marching orders from a guy on the other side of the planet.

I'll miss dat theme song if this is it for them. I like how it reminds me of something from one of those Monster Ballads infomercials late at night.

inb4 aew. I can't even pretend to remember anything they did He hit someone over the head with a vase. I think Yep that was Sami Zayn that he hit. More recently he was teaming up with TJP on 205 live in a series of matches against the Lucha House Party.

Judging by their tweets, this seems accurate.

Maybe this will teach WWE to stop hiring every person who becomes available. Mike Bennett sucks, plain and simple. I think WWE just wanted Maria back and Mike was just part of the deal. I can even imagine Maria demanding Mike be a part of it. I forgot to mention that I think a heel Bryan with heel Brie could be way more interesting as well, so there's another on screen couple better than Mike and Maria. On 205 Live though, They can fill a role. They can make nice waves on that show. Mike is honestly not terrible in the ring. He was way overpushed in Impact, but he can actually be a decent heel. 205 Live can do good things with people. Buddy Murphy was nothing. On 205 Live, he became a star. Mustafa Ali was an alternate for the CWC and now he's on Smackdown, has pinned Daniel Bryan, and now might be feuding with Samoa Joe. With some patience, Mike and Maria can make something happen.

If I was Mike “I like waiting in line at the DMV” Bennett and Maria, I would just be quiet and become the new Colons. Sit at home and cash a check and spend time with the baby. At a certain point they won’t be renewed and they can fly around the country and wrestle in all the high school gyms that they want.
Or maybe AEW want them so we can watch that epic Brandi Rhodes vs Maria match we’ve all been waiting for.

I mean, if this is true, maybe Mike and Maria were expecting more success than they've had so far, but surely they weren't expecting him to be a World Champion. Well - maybe that's what Maria's expectations were...

You show up to the biggest wrestling company in the world out of shape and addicted to pain killers, don't expect them to push you to the moon. Even when you get clean. They sort of expect that on day one.
This feels like Chris Harris/Braden Walker version 2.0

Just thought about something:
They go to WWE Maria has a baby and is on leave Mike goes to Rehab
So let me get this straight. These two went to WWE , got a baby ASAP and went to rehab during that. Thankfully everything went well and they had their re-debut at 205 live...and leave right after.
This is how you screw over a corporation that only hired you to get you off the market.
I am not saying this was on purpose, it's just an example how you can use a company when you actually dont give a f***.

Maybe this will teach WWE to stop hiring every person who becomes available. Mike Bennett sucks, plain and simple. Wouldn't say he sucks. Yeah, he doesn't have much personality, but he's a solid hand in the ring. He'd be great in the tag division or mid card. He's also apparently really popular in the locker room.
