Former SmackDown Women’s Champion Carmella has finally spoken openly about her exit from WWE. Many fans were confused about her sudden disappearance and some misunderstood her earlier words. Now, Carmella has explained what really happened and also shared a secret about her big Money in the Bank win in 2017.
She talked about all this during her appearance on The Wrestling Classic podcast. Carmella made it clear that she loved her time in WWE, but the way it ended was not easy for her.
Carmella talks about her WWE exit
Carmella said she never meant to say anything bad about WWE. She only felt hurt by how things ended. She explained that the teaser clip from her past interview was taken the wrong way by fans online. On The Wrestling Classic podcast:
“A trailer for anything, whether it’s a TV show, a podcast, or a movie, is supposed to get people talking and intrigued, and that’s what the trailer did,” she said. “When that little teaser reel dropped, people were just taking the things that were said out of context. If you actually listen to the entire podcast, you know what I was saying.”
She wanted to clarify that she still has respect for WWE and is thankful for everything she got from the company.
“I wasn’t at all saying anything bad about WWE. I’m so grateful for my time at WWE.”
But the part that hurt her was how suddenly it all ended. She said she did not get much time or warning before her exit, and that made her feel surprised and sad.
“Eventually, I’m going to leave WWE. There’s no way I can work there forever,” she said. “For me personally, I was just a little upset and hurt, I guess, with how it ended… I didn’t get a lot of notice. To me, that’s what kind of was like, wow…”
Some fans also criticized her wrestling skills, but Carmella was not bothered.
“…everyone’s gonna have their opinion and that’s fine.”

Carmella also spoke about her big 2017 win in the Women’s Money in the Bank match. She said the original plan was for
Becky Lynch to win. But that changed after Carmella gave a strong promo on SmackDown.
Vince McMahon saw it and liked it a lot.
Later that same night, the segment involving her, Becky, and
Charlotte Flair was changed. She was the one getting attacked instead of doing the attack, and that’s when she knew something had changed.
She said Vince’s reaction and the change in plans made her realize that she would be winning the briefcase.
