WWE: Mike Kanellis says his release wasn't because of the storyline involving wife Maria

Mike Kanellis, who made headlines by requesting WWE to release him, claimed that the storyline was not a problem. Both Mike and his wife Maria Kanellis signed a five-year contract with WWE just before his announcement (about his release) on social media. In that statement, Mike stated that he was feeling miserable in his current position and wanted to be happy in the remaining years of his in-ring career. However, WWE denied his request to be released from the company. And since then, he hasn’t been on WWE programming.
