Maria Kanellis Wanted To Bring Back Ditzy Persona In AEW, Had Idea To Continuously Call Adam Copeland ‘Edge’
The persona that she put forth in WWE is something Maria wanted to do in AEW.
Kanellis feels anything can be done if you’re creative enough.
The latest guest to join K & S WrestleFest for a virtual signing was Maria Kanellis. The persona she had during her first WWE run was reflected on.
Kanellis shared that she hoped to reprise that character while in AEW. She had the idea in mind to continuously call Adam Copeland by the name he used in WWE, Edge.
“That’s one of the things I wanted to play again (Kanellis said when it was mentioned that she played the ‘ditz’ role well). I really wish I got to do it one more time.
I think you could (go back to that). I think if you’re creative enough, you can do anything. I had a whole way of doing it. That was one thing I wanted to do in AEW. I’d continue trying to call Edge ‘Edge’ and him being like, no, no, no! It’s Adam Copeland.”
Kanellis is no longer with AEW as her contract expired. Her husband Mike Bennett is still signed to the company. He wrestles alongside Matt Taven as The Kingdom on ROH.
