Ring of Honor star and former WWE Diva Maria Kanellis claims the Bella Twins blocked her from returning to WWE. Speaking via her Twitter account, she claimed;
“I was offered a WWE contract and the Bellas made sure I didn’t get it… I’m not bitter. I just don’t like people that mess with my career.”
Maria later said; “that’s enough time talking about” the Bellas before plugging Ring of Honor, “if you don’t speak up, you are part of the problem. I’d rather be lady made than man made. #firstlady. God takes care of everyone and he is the final judge.”
Diva-Dirt.com are reporting that Maria and several other former Divas were initially offered short-term deals to return at WrestleMania 29. However, plans were scrapped for a “past Divas” storyline that would have culminated at WrestleMania. Ironically, The Bellas’s mixed tag match was also cut on the day of the PPV.
