Latest Update On AEW Contract Status For Maria Kanellis-Bennett

-- Maria Kanellis-Bennett remains under AEW contract despite stating last year that her deal would be running out at the end of October. Fightfulselect.com reports that while the original contract was set to expire at that time, AEW and Kanellis agreed to a short term extension that would "benefit both sides" and that the extension runs through January. There was supposed to be an announcement regarding the amendment, but it obviously never happened.

-- Kanellis hasn't wrestled since 2019 but has training and previously competed in the ring. Within AEW she's served a number of roles including helping with creative in the women's division as well as a manager on TV. She remains open to assisting with creative moving forward.

-- In recent times, Kanellis has battled what was a concerning health problem when doctors found a mass on her adrenal gland. However, removal and testing of the mass revealed that it was non-cancerous and she will or perhaps already has made a full recovery.
