As we saw this week on WWE’s 205 Live, Mike and Maria Kanellis made their debut on the show. Maria had not been seen on WWE TV since prior to her taking her maternity leave. You can see footage of their debut as part of the 205 Live roster below.
Mike and Maria’s 205 Live debut was discussed by Dave Meltzer during a recent episode of Wrestling Observer Radio. Meltzer mentioned that their move to 205 Live could both be contributed of the show needing somebody like Maria on it, as well as Mike cutting weight and trimming down to meet the requirements for a spot on the 205 Live roster after both RAW and SmackDown LIVE did not end up being viable options for him.
Regarding Mike and Maria Kanellis debuting on 205 Live, Metlzer said:
“I think that her because she’s a really good talker and has a good personality on a show that probably needs somebody different. I think her being on the show is good and for him, it’s like he was going nowhere on Raw or SmackDown I think that was very clear that they were going to do nothing with him so at least he’s somewhere where he’ll get a little bit of something. It’s a good move.”
