I think we can call this an acceptable absence. You can hear all kinds of reasons for WWE wrestlers to be taken off of television. Some of them might be storyline related, some might be because the boss doesn’t like them, and some might be injury related. This one is more medical related, and it isn’t something that you are going to hear about very often.
Maria Kanellis announced on Instagram that she spent Tuesday night in the hospital, which caused her to miss this week’s 205 Live. Kanellis is currently pregnant with her second child and spent most of the morning vomiting. The hospital staff told her that she had some kind of a flu bug but the baby is perfectly fine. There is no word on when Kanellis will begin taking maternity leave.
The pregnancy announcement was quite the moment. Check out how Kanellis broke the news:
Opinion: Naturally what matters most here is that Kanellis and the baby are both ok. It sounds like she just got sick and when you factor in her being pregnant, you can’t be too cautious. Kanellis is a great TV character but there is only so much that she can do when she is only going to be around for a few more months. Hopefully she can come back to television soon, but what matters most is everyone’s health.
