Maria Kanellis Confirmed for Playboy

At WWE.com, WWE officials are finally confirmed that WWE Diva Maria Kanellis will be posting in Playboy. Check out the website's countdown to the event now.

Here's what the site says:

It’s official – Maria will pose for Playboy magazine. The fashionista Diva will be featured on the cover of the April issue. Maria sealed the deal on Monday night when she was victorious over Women’s Champion Beth Phoenix.

Maria’s boyfriend, Santino Marella, revealed immediately before her match with Beth that she had to defeat the Women’s Champion to claim the Playboy contract he was holding. When former Women’s Champion Candice Michelle made a surprise return on Monday night, Beth was obviously stunned and distracted by Candice’s entrance, leaving Maria the chance to roll up the Women’s Champion for the pin.

Once Maria’s win set in, the elated Diva celebrated with Santino (who didn’t exactly look pleased) and former Playboy cover girl, Candice Michelle. As Maria clutched the contract in her hands, she beamed and jumped for joy, as our fans were just as excited.
