Maria Kanellis Returning to WWE?

It was reported in this week's issue of the Wrestling Observer Newsletter that Maria Kanellis, who appeared for WWE from 2004 to 2010, was among the former Divas contacted by organization officials to return. The possibility of a comeback, however, fell through when some unspecified female talent learned of WWE's interest in Kanellis, causing management to shelf the idea. 

In 2011 and 2012, Kanellis hosted an online show for AfterBuzzTV.com discussing Raw events, which was most notable for her cryptic remarks regarding the personal lives of Kelly Kelly and The Bella Twins. Regarding the report and past remarks, she tweeted Thursday, "As for the other rumors: I have respect for all Divas including the Bellas and Barbie now. What's past is past. #oneloveonelifeladyfirst."

Another Diva and Star Returning?

- We noted before that WWE was negotiating with other former Divas to return after bringing back The Bella Twins. Apparently they made offers to Maryse and Kelly Kelly also. Kelly and Maryse reportedly denied their first offers but are still in talks.

- Shad Gaspard, who was released in 2010, has told people that he's interested in returning to WWE.
