Carmella Shuts Down WWE Return After Feeling 'Punished' for Having a Baby

Carmella isn't holding onto hope for a WWE return -- at least not right now.

During her Barely Famous interview with Kail Lowry, she made it clear that she's not interested in going back to a company that "ghosted" her and cut her after 12 years.

"Why would you want to be somewhere that doesn't want you?" she said when asked about a potential return. "It's like you're in a relationship and 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."

While she's not ruling out a return forever, she's 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 took a moment to address a bigger issue -- 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 didn't hold back on how it feels to be in this position. "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 done with WWE, but she's not shutting the door forever. She's owning 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.

Do you think Carmella deserves another shot, or is WWE right to move forward? Let us know in the comments below,
