Reason revealed why one of WWE’s newest stars may have been kept off television

If you've been wondering why two superstars haven't been on SmackDown Live lately, we may have found out why -- and it's actually a great reason.

If you've been wondering why Mike and Maria Kanellis haven't been on SmackDown Live lately, we may have found out why — and it's actually a great reason.

On Monday, Maria revealed that she is 13 weeks pregnant and that the couple is expecting its first child.

Kanellis said that she plans to return to WWE with her doctor's approval after the baby is born and "gets plenty of mommy time." She also announced that she will be posting updates on her social media accounts during her pregnancy.

Kanellis returned to WWE after a seven-year absence alongside her real-life husband, Mike Bennett, who made his official debut under his wife's surname at Money in the Bank in June.
