In an interview with WrestlingOpinion.com, former WWE Diva Maria Kanellis talked about Triple H running WWE talent relations, the infamous CM Punk promo on WWE management, feuding with the Bella Twins in real-life after blaming them for her WWE departure, being rescued by Matt and Jeff Hardy and more:
Maria on her feud with The Bella Twins:
"I actually am done with that part of my life. I talked to Nikki the other day. We're cool. Like its funny, I don't think I knew all the facts. I think people were telling me things that weren't necessarily true. I wanted to be done with it. So, one day I just texted her and was like, 'Hey, I don't know what happened, but I'm sorry.' And she responded back and she's like 'I understand, you know things happen.' She was super cool about it. And we're done with that. Like, I'm an honest person, and when I find out I'm wrong, I'm wrong."
CB's Analysis: It's nice of Maria to admit she was wrong about the Bella Twins being responsible for ending her WWE Divas career. At the time she left WWE, she seemed pretty bitter towards Nikki and Brie, so I am glad that's resolved.

Maria on Triple H heading WWE Talent Relations:
"Anybody that wants to say it is the Yes Movement better also remember who the boss is, and who's the one making the decisions now. And I think that Triple H doesn't necessarily get as much credit as he deserves, because he is the one building up that NXT, he's the one that has made it a hub and place for wrestling to grow and get better and better."
CB's Analysis: Not only does Triple H deserve credit for developing the NXT program, but he also deserves praise for being able to mend fences over the past two years to help get guys like Bruno Sammartino and the late Ultimate Warrior inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame.
Maria on CM Punk:
"Punk came in, changed everybody's mind. Then management started listening. Management went, 'Oh, he know's how to get over.' Because he knows the people, because he's been working in front of the people for 9 years now."
CB's Analysis: It's a shame Punk is currently on hiatus from WWE as Maria is right about his ability to work a crowd. Unfortunately, WWE management wasn't listening closely enough to realize how burnt out Punk was just before he left.

Maria on being rescued by the Hardys:
"I got pulled over on the way to a show, and the guy took my car away from me (she did not realize she had a speeding ticket out that had not been paid). Here I was with my rental car and they took it away from me, they said I couldn't drive. I was like ok, cool. The cop leaves me on the side of the road. Me, my two big bags, and my dog Gemini. Here I am on the side of the road. Here comes the Hardy Boyz! Flying down the highway. I get a phone call, 'Maria, was that you on the side of the road?' Yeah, it was me. Matt was on the phone. Matt's like, 'We're coming to get ya!' I'm like, 'Ok good!' Here comes Matt, picks me up, and we keep going. So, The Hardys are my angels."
Maria On Nancy Grace:
"The Nancy Grace's of the world are so behind of the times. Holy crap. And how can you be so disrespectful? I mean, how can you be so rude? Like, here this man comes on to talk about a friend, and then you're going to do that to him? I mean she's just an evil, evil woman."
CB's Analysis: Both of those last two comments sound about right.
