Carmella: “It Is a Great Time to Be a Woman in the WWE”

Carmella promises to keep a close eye on Naomi at WWE Battleground: SmackDown LIVE, July 18, 2017

WWE superstar Carmella was recently interviewed by The Wrap, to promote her appearance on the new season of “Total Divas.” She discusses a number of topics, including being on the show, the state of the women’s division in WWE and more.

Below are some questions, along with Carmella’s answers:

TheWrap: Has joining the cast of “Total Divas” become a benchmark that WWE Divas now aspire to?

Carmella: I am not sure it is something we aim for, but I am honored to be a part of it and show the world who Carmella is, not only on “SmackDown Live” but in real life.

This is a super exciting time for the women in the WWE, so I can’t wait for everyone to see the progress that the women have been making over the last few years. This year, there were two women’s matches on the card WrestleMania — it has come a long way and I am really excited for the fans to see what’s in store for the women now.

Why has there been such an explosion for women in the WWE?

I think it was just time — the women have been working for so long and so hard. The fans helped a lot too as they demanded it, they knew what the women were capable of and started the whole women’s revolution hashtag on Twitter. That gave the Divas a chance. The women took it and ran with it and have been running with it ever since then. They are now on main event pay-per-views. I was in the very first Money in the Bank ladder match for women, and I won it! So it has been a wonderful whirlwind. It is a great time to be a woman in the WWE.

Is it hard having the cameras on you all the time, especially covering your personal life?

It was different at first, that’s for sure. How am I supposed to act, what am I supposed to do? When you sign up for a reality show, you have to put your personal life out there.

But I am excited to share my struggle with my relationship. I am dating another WWE Superstar, Big Cass, he is on “Raw” and I am on “SmackDown,” so we get to show the world our struggles as it’s like a long-distance relationship and we only see each other one-and-a-half days a week, sometimes less. I really want to show women that it is OK to have a career and put that — not necessarily first — but to put it out there. You can do it all. Is it going to be hard? Yes. Is it going to be worth it? Of course.

She also discusses her relationship with The Bellas, the best advice she ever received and more.
