Maria Kanellis announced a new wrestling project.
Since her debut on WWE almost a decades ago, Maria Kanellis has been a referent on women’s wrestling and its empowerment in the industry. From a correspondent backstage to a manager and a wrestler, she has built her name in different promotions.
In 2021 Maria was very active and instrumental in the Ring of Honor women’s division relaunch, creating a weekly show focused only on women’s wrestling.
Throughout Twitter, Kanellis revealed that she is starting a new project called “Women’s Wrestling Army.”
The tweet features a video of Maria outlining her mission with this new project, she said the following
The journey, it’s 1,000 seemingly insignificant decisions. It’s the wrong turns, the dead ends, the climb, the process the successes, and the failures. It’s the word, ‘no.’ The next ‘no.’ A million beating drums inside your mind that say, ‘no’. A hated word, ‘diva,’ that defined your career. Can you small-town girl, Diva, turn that ‘no’ into a simple but almost unattainable word, ‘yes.’
Yes, you can transition from small-town girl turned Diva to manager, mother, producer — to produce change, changing ever so slightly, to keep up with my less experienced contemporaries to remain relevant for them, to create opportunities for them. Crafting a craft that is in the position with the possibility to overturn or overtake an industry with professional wrestling. What’s next? CEO, BOD. Let’s create an army. A Women’s Wrestling Army.
There is not much information about the project n the website, but you can subscribe for news and about upcoming shows and events.
Kanellis is currently working on IMPACT.
