Carmella isn’t pinning her hopes on a WWE return anytime soon.
In a candid Barely Famous interview with Kail Lowry, she revealed her reluctance to rejoin a company that “ghosted” her and cut ties after a 12-year tenure.
“Why would you want to be somewhere that doesn’t want you?” Carmella questioned when asked about a potential comeback. “It’s like being in a relationship where someone is trying to break up with you. ‘No, don’t leave me. I promise.’ No, you’re not wanted in that relationship. It’s not for me, and I truly feel that door is closed.”
Although she hasn’t ruled out a return forever, Carmella is focused on what’s next. “I’m not saying forever. It’s not like Carmella may never make another appearance. I think that would be great to eventually put my Jordans back on, moonwalk back out there, and be in front of the fans. I think someday, it will, but right now, it’s just not for me. This is the universe’s way of telling me there is something else for you. I’m excited for that.”
Carmella also addressed the larger issue of how women, especially mothers, are treated in professional wrestling. “I’m not sitting here trying to disparage WWE, but I want to be real honest because it’s 2025, and we still have a long way to go for women and moms and pregnancy and health and all of it. I feel like this conversation needs to be had because I had a baby and now I’m not working, and that sucks. That’s just the reality of the situation.”
She expressed her frustration with her current situation. “I feel like I’m being punished because I had a baby. I wouldn’t change a damn thing. I’m obsessed with my son, and this is my life. I would do it a million times over again, but it’s just the reality of the situation.”
For now, Carmella is stepping away from WWE but isn’t closing the door forever. She’s embracing her next chapter, whether it involves wrestling or not. WWE may have moved on, but so has she—and she’s making sure the world knows it.
