Mike Kanellis was brought into the WWE following an impressive run in Impact Wrestling as The Miracle.
Kanellis debuted at Money In The Bank with his wife Maria, but his main roster run soon turned cold. It was rumored that officials soured on him due to him being lazy, and his booking seemed to back the story that WWE officials has lost confidence in him.
The only singles win Kanellis has under his belt was against Sami Zayn on the July 18, 2017 episode of SmackDown Live. In August, Maria Kanellis provided an update that Mike started rehab the month before.
"July 15th was the beginning of the first week of my husband's recovery from prescription drugs. That was the hardest week of my life," said Maria. She added, "Mike wanted to quit. Now, as we move forward even though the road is hard. It's the right road." This week, he posted a startling before and after picture of his physical transformation.
The photo is captioned, "Put in the work when no one is watching."
Over the past several months, Kanellis has posted several other updates on his progress. Mike hasn’t appeared on SmackDown Live this year, but has competed in several WWE Live events, losing to Tye Dillinger, Zack Ryder, and multi-person tag matches.
