After weeks of being caught up in a storyline with his pregnant wife, who would belittle him at every turn, Mike Kanellis had finally had enough before he decided to request his WWE release back in October.

Sadly for Mike, this was just weeks after he and his wife Maria had signed on for five more years, which means that the company went on to deny his request. It's interesting to note that the former 24/7 Champion hasn't been seen on WWE TV since his release request and there has been no continuation of the storyline concerning his wife's pregnancy on Raw.

Mike made his WWE debut back in 2017 when he and Maria debuted at Money in the Bank, they were set to become WWE's next big IT Couple but reports suggested that Vince McMahon was no longer a fan of Kanellis, which is why he was relegated to 205 Live.

Maria then left on maternity leave to give birth to her first child, before she later revealed that she was pregnant for a second time and it has been downhill for the couple ever since.
