Carmella says she’ll be on a podcast ‘later this week’ to discuss WWE departure

Carmella is speaking out for the first time following her WWE departure.

Speaking to fans on Instagram, the 37-year-old said that there had been some news in the last week, but had not responded to it due to being sick. She thanked fans for their support following news that her WWE contract had recently expired.

“I’ve seen all of your texts and tweets and messages and DMs and like, oh my god. You guys are just the best and I’m so grateful for you and everything that you’ve been saying about Carmella and my career and I’m so blessed, so thank you,” she said.

Carmella then announced she would be on a podcast later this week to provide more information.

“I know there’s a lot of questions and uncertainty around everything. I will be going on a podcast later this week answering some of those questions and telling my side because I have a lot to say about the situation, so I’ll give you the details later when I can and I can’t wait to fill you guys in,” she said.

The former SmackDown Women’s Champion has been out of action since March of 2023, giving birth to a son in November of that year. As recently as December, she had expressed interest in a return to the ring but was suffering from drop foot, a complication from her pregnancy.
