Mary Kanellis-Bennett talks about the women’s wrestling coalition
During the same interview, the former WWE Superstar revealed how she knew women have branched out and wanting to work with other companies.
“In general, we all have communications about how things are going. How much we’re getting paid, and how well we’re treated, and so because of that community of women, the women’s wrestling coalition, as I like to call it, we have this underground network of boosting each other up and women’s wrestling matters and women want to do a really good job with the wrestling part of women’s wrestling.”

According to Mary Kanellis-Bennett, the company does not determine the best wrestler, it’s the wrestler herself. Therefore, whether a wrestler is working with IMPACT, AEW, or even WWE, it won’t matter since the skills are within the wrestler.
“It’s just a matter of who that person is, not what company they work for. And I hope that over the next few months we’re able to see a couple of those women and Ring of Honor. But if not, it is something to work towards.”
