Carmella Talks Not Being Just A ‘Hype Girl’, The Backstage Reaction To Her Joining The WWE Main Roster

Carmella was the final selection in this years WWE Draft, joining the Smackdown LIVE brand. She is best known by WWE fans for being the manager of Enzo Amore and Big Cass during their time in NXT. When the charismatic tag team were called up to the main roster several months ago, it was a bit surprising that she wasn’t beside them.

The WWE made the decision to keep her in NXT and develop her wrestling talent. In a recent interview with Channel Guide Magazine, she spoke about going off on her own;

“I totally look at it as a great opportunity for me because I spent years on the sidelines of the NFL and NBA. With the boys, I was essentially a hype girl and there was nothing wrong with that. I had so much fun with them in NXT. Now that I’m here on SmackDown Live myself and knowing I have this opportunity to shine. I’m not just a hype girl. I’ve been doing this and working hard for the last two-and-a-half years. I’ve been the ring doing a lot of work. So I’m excited to show the world what I can bring to the table” (Source: Channel Guide Magazine).

She also spoke about the backstage reaction to her call up and who she has leaned on so far:

“All of the girls have been so helpful. Becky [Lynch], I spent some time with her in NXT. So she has been very helpful with any questions I have. I’m like constantly texting her with, ‘Please help me with this.’ Sasha [Banks] has been really helpful as well with me. The girls are just great” (Source: Channel Guide Magazine).
