Maria Kanellis and Mike Bennett Have Signed With TNA

A few days ago, it was reported that both Michael Bennett and his wife Maria Kanellis were officially done with their commitments for Ring of Honor. The couple was rumored to be headed to NXT or WWE in early 2016. However, the rumors as of a few days ago were that Bennett and Kanellis are headed to TNA.

According to The Wrestling Observer Newsletter, Bennett and former WWE Diva Maria Kanellis are officially getting contracts with TNA for guaranteed money.

The Wrestling Observer Newsletter is reporting both Michael Bennett and Maria Kanellis are getting guaranteed deals with TNA. The details of their deals are allowing the couple to work TNA’s schedule which includes several shows in early January. But, they can also continue to work independent bookings. The guaranteed money is rumored to be significantly higher for each one than what ROH offers

The guaranteed money is rumored to be significantly higher for each of them in comparison to what they would be making in NXT or Ring of Honor.

The only unfortunate part of the deal is although they are allowed to do independent bookings as long as it doesn’t stop them from their commitments to TNA, the new deal most likely means that both Bennett and Kanellis won’t be able to return to New Japan Pro Wrestling.
