SPOTLIGHTED PODCAST ALERT (YOUR ARTICLE BEGINS A FEW INCHES DOWN)...

Mike Bennett and Maria, formerly of TNA and ROH, are headed to WWE’s main roster, according to PWTorch sources. A return to Impact Wrestling was a possibility, but WWE’s offer more appealing. They are expected to land on Smackdown.

Keller’s Analysis: It’s surprising they’re jumping right to the main roster, according to what we’re hearing. They are a WWE-style act, based on their presentation on Impact Wrestling last year, and Bennett’s in-ring style is more along the lines of “WWE style” than “Indy style,” so I’m not shocked Vince McMahon would have interest in them.

    • Never thought much of Maria in my limited tna viewing. I found her annoying and dull on the mic and average at best in the ring. Mike on the other hand, at least has the look of wwe superstar. I think his character direction was a bit misguided in tna. HOPEFULLY wwe creative can fix that.
