Former WWE Superstar Mike Bennett recently spoke about Paul Heyman in glowing terms, crediting the current on-screen manager of Roman Reigns for getting him signed with WWE.
Mike Bennett on how Paul Heyman helped him get signed with WWE
On his recent appearance Two Man Power Trip of Wrestling podcast, Bennett spoke about how Heyman’s past friendship with Bennett’s real-life wife Maria Kanellis, helped him get signed with WWE.
Mike Bennett was signed by WWE in 2017, debuting at Money in the Bank alongside his wife Maria. Maria Kanellis had previously been a part of WWE from 2004 to 2010. Heyman was with WWE along with Kanellis briefly, as he quit the company in 2006.
Both Mike Bennett and Maria Kanellis were let go by WWE earlier this year due to the COVID-19 pandemic. WWE released several Superstars and backstage personnel to cut costs during the pandemic. Bennett had asked for his release from WWE last year as he was unhappy, but WWE Chairman Vince McMahon was not reportedly happy about how he did it.
He and his wife were eventually released a few months later in April 2020.
