Michael Bennett (born May 16, 1985) is an American professional wrestler and actor, who is currently signed to WWE under the ring name Mike Kanellis.
He is a former two-time 24/7 Champion.
After a few years in the independent circuit, Bennett made his debut in Ring of Honor (ROH) in 2008, under The Prodigy character.
With his then-girlfriend Maria Kanellis, he worked as part of The Kingdom, winning the ROH World Tag Team Championship with Matt Taven.
Also, since ROH has an alliance with Japanese promotion New Japan Pro-Wrestling (NJPW), the stable made some appearances in the country, winning the IWGP Tag Team Championship.
Bennett and Kanellis would leave ROH in 2015 and sign a contract with Total Nonstop Action Wrestling (TNA), where he won the TNA X Division Championship.
In 2017, he left the promotion to join WWE, alongside his wife, whose maiden name was used as his ring name.
Bennett and Taven operate a wrestling school in West Warwick, Rhode Island.
