Mike Bennett and Maria Kanellis to Debut on WWE TV This Week

Welcome back….whoever you are. WWE is known for collecting talent like almost no one else has ever seen with nearly every major talent outside of Japan either showing up in the company or coming close to it. As it turns out, there’s a good chance that two new names will be debuting on the main roster, either this week or even sooner than that.

According to PWInsider.com, Mike Bennett and Maria Kanellis-Bennett are likely to be officially starting on television this coming week, potentially as soon as at “Money in the Bank 2017”. There is no word on which brand they’ll be working for and whether they will be faces or heels. Kanellis worked for WWE from 2004-2010 while Bennett has never worked there.

Opinion: I know these are two names that people thought would just walk into WWE but I’m not sure how well that’s going to work. Bennett has never been in WWE and Kanellis hasn’t been around in well over seven years now. How much of a reaction can you really expect her to get? They’re a good act but putting them on the main roster instead of going to NXT is a bit of a stretch. That being said, they do seem perfect for interrupting the legends segment so that’s always an option.
