Appearing on the Nikki & Brie Show, Carmella gave an update on her health and talked about her excitement to return to in-ring action.
“I miss the fans, I miss performing, I miss that. I fell in love with that, did it for 11 years. But more than anything I just want to prove, I think to myself, okay, I can go through this insane experience of labor and delivery and pregnancy and my body is completely different now from the inside out. (I) would love to go back and just prove that I can. To no one else, just to myself.”
The former WWE SmackDown Women’s Champion recently gave birth to her first child with Corey Graves, and shared her story of recovering from injury shortly after the delivery:
“Unfortunately, I’ve been dealing with – again, things no one talks about – but I have what’s called Drop Foot, which is basically I have this injury from labor and delivery and pushing the baby out. I have got herniated discs in my back which push on this nerve that’s connected to my right foot so the top of my foot, it’s hard to lift. So, I’m literally like limping around everywhere.
It’s gotten better but…I mean, I wrestled for 11 years and other than some concussions, knock on wood, never had any injuries and now I have this major injury from delivering my son.”
Carmella has been out of action since March 2023, when she competed against Bianca Belair on RAW and in an eight-woman tag match in Madison Square Garden during the Road to WrestleMania Supershow tour.
