Two weeks ago, Mike Kanellis picked up a much-needed victory against former WWE Cruiserweight Champion Akira Tozawa. However, The Opportunist’s victory came thanks to an assist from his wife Maria, leaving The Stamina Monster irate in the wake of the contest. WWE 205 Live General Manager Drake Maverick confronted WWE’s Power Couple last week, wondering if Mike was satisfied with employing Maria’s help.
Maverick wasn’t just questioning the tactics of the Kanellis’, he was also making sure Mike was prepared to face Tozawa again, this time with The Brian Kendrick in The Stamina Monster’s corner to suppress Maria’s influence. Can Mike Kanellis defeat Akira Tozawa once more, this time with a level playing field?
