Marie Kanellis was a part of WWE’s trash bag gate as well.
In 2021, Mickie James was released by WWE. In the days following, her items from the WWE locker room were sent to her inside of a trash bag, which she didn’t take lightly. Soon after, other former WWE stars revealed their things were sent to them the same way, which had them feeling slighted. Maria Kanellis on the other hand, had two stints with WWE with the first one ending the same way as Mickie’s. While speaking on “Interviews With James,” Maria Kanellis talked about the first time she received a trash bag in WWE. She revealed who was the first person to send her a trash bag.
I received my first garbage bag … underneath John Laurinaitis. This situation has been going on for a bit and they really should hire outside HR departments to come in and do some audits on what’s going on within the company. … Hire therapists if people need mental help. I just think they need to take a look within and start dealing with some of these real-life adult problems.

Hopefully under new management, things like this don’t happen again.
