Maria Kanellis is recovering after undergoing surgery for a mass on her adrenal gland.

Kanellis had surgery done on Thursday morning, and the next step is for a biopsy to be performed to determine what the mass is. Her husband Mike Bennett shared an update with fans last night informing everyone that surgery went well.

“Maria’s surgery went well. She is staying overnight at the hospital for observation and should be released tomorrow,” Bennett wrote. “My wife is a badass. Thank you to everyone who’s reached out. We love y’all so very much.”

Kanellis announced this July that the mass had been found “accidentally” during a test, and it was inconclusive as to whether the mass was cancerous or not. She had asked for her adrenal glands to be checked six months before that due to symptoms she was having, but insurance would not cover it at the time.

Earlier this month, Kanellis stated that her AEW contract is set to expire at the end of October. She reached out to AEW about whether the promotion is going to re-sign her but had not heard anything back yet. Kanellis said she would be available to accept interviews about her “time and treatment” in AEW after October 31.

During her time with AEW, Kanellis has been featured as a manager in Ring of Honor.
