Last night was a special one for Maria. Not only was it her birthday, but she won her first wrestling title! Maria competed in a four woman tournament at FWEs event in NYC, and after two matches walked away the first FWE Woman’s Champion. Here’s a play-by-play recap courtesy of PWInsider [via Diva Dirt]:
* First round: Maria Kanellis vs. Tara: Maria defeated Tara when Winter interfered. Tara had the victory in her grasp – with Maria set up for the devastating Widow’s Peak – when Winter made her presence known, leading to a face-off with her fellow TNA Knockout. Maria then proceeded to roll Tara up for the win!
* Finals: Winter vs. Maria Kanellis: Winter took control early on, with Kanellis later making a big comeback. Kanellis’ comeback got cut short when she was elevated and dropped onto the top turnbuckle by Winter, but Tessmacher made a second appearance and distracted the referee… which allowed for Tara to hit Winter with the Widow’s Peak, paying her back for her interference earlier in the evening. Maria then covered Winter for the victory and to be crowned the first-ever FWE Women’s Champion!
Check out the end of the 2nd match below. Congratulations Maria!

Maria and Mike Bennett released another PSA today:
Starring both “The Prodigy” and “The First Lady of Ring of Honor” Maria Kanellis, this episode of the Prodigy Service Announcement (PSA) focuses on The Prodigy’s lack of opponent for ROH’s 10th Anniversary event in New York City, NY. Some choice words that are bound to raise some eyebrows from ROH’s leading couple.
Maria got her first tattoo this week! If you’re a fan of Maria you know she has plenty of passion, so it’s very fitting that’s what she chose to get tattooed across her wrist.
