We'll count this one as a bit of a bonus entrant. While Maria Kanellis can't really be counted as a former Superstar as she's still signed to WWE, it's been a LONG time since we've saw her in action - but Maria will be in the Battle Royal!

Since her return to WWE, Kanellis at Money In The Bank 2017, she has been paired with husband Mike, with Maria recently taking time off TV due to pregnancy. Kanellis, though, hasn't wrestled since her return to TV, even before pregnancy.

Maria Kanellis originally signed with WWE in 2004 after entering the Diva Search, making appearances at OVW, and working in more of a creative capacity with booking ideas, before being brought to Raw as a backstage interviewer and the host of KissCam.

By 2005, Maria was wrestling on Raw, and proved her toughness when one of her fillings was slapped out of her mouth during a match with Trish Stratus.

Toughness is something that would be prominent in her first stint in WWE as she competed against Kurt Angle in singles action, teamed with John Cena against Edge, and Lita and was also on the receiving end of a Stone Cold Stunner when she criticised Steve Austin's movie The Condemned. Kanellis went on to wrestle in ROH, Impact Wrestling, and even NJPW before she returned to WWE.
