'I’m like what?' Former Women’s Champion reveals how WWE snubbed Becky Lynch of a massive victory at the last-minute 

Carmella said that it was going to be Becky Lynch‘s turn on the repeat. However, when they were backstage the day of that SmackDown taping, it was eventually decided that Mella’s going to retain her sobriquet of Ms. Money in the Bank. Upon hearing the final say, The Crown Princess was left baffled. She couldn’t believe her eyes. As she was yet to complete her first year on the main roster.

I know originally it was supposed to be Becky, she was winning it the second time … so then we showed up that day of and we kind of like talking through things and it was like 'and Carmella is going to win' and I'm like what? Like oh my God, like I couldn't believe it.

One would say it’s nothing but a windfall. However, in hindsight, Carmella happens to be one of the best MITB briefcase holders since it became a thing. She later cashed-in on Charlotte Flair to become the then-SmackDown Women’s Champion. The title reign was a shot in her arm, and it established The Moonwalking Trash-Talking Chick as one of the top stars WWE has had during that era.

Carmella reveals she’s dealing with post-pregnancy complications

A few months ago, Carmella became a mother. She gave birth to a baby boy. The fans thought that they’d soon get to see the Massachusetts native plot her WWE in-ring return. However, things haven’t been the same with her.

In the same interview as above, the former Women’s Tag Team Champion revealed that she’s dealing with a drop foot. She has an injury from the labor and herniated discs in her back. Mella said that she’s been limping for mobility as the top of her foot is hard to lift.

She also expressed a desire to indeed come back to wrestle once again, despite the adversities she’s faced. The 36-year-old last competed in 2023 before WrestleMania. And the wait continues for the ex-Money in the Bank winner to get back to what she does best.
