The Untouchable Carmella recently appeared as special guest on The Bellas Podcast and discussed about several topics including WWE’s current booking of women’s division.
Carmella stated that she had to wait until 10 PM to see the women on the show. She explained that it’s not okay to focus on maybe two women or just one women’s storyline in the three hours show of the WWE Raw.
“Even, myself, I would sit at home and watch RAW and it would be 10 PM before I would see a woman on the show,” said Carmella. “It’s like, ‘this is a three-hour show. What the hell?’ Even if I’m just a fan, which I am. Like if I didn’t work at WWE and I was just sitting at home watching, I want to see the women. That’s why I tune in. If I’m waiting until 10pm to see a girl, it’s like, ‘what the hell?’ That’s not okay for little girls at home or whoever is watching waiting for the women. It just feels like oh, now, there’s only a focus on maybe two women or one women’s storyline.”

She also recalled that there were three women’s storyline on 2-hour show of Smackdown, when she was aligned with James Ellsworth. She also reminded that women were also bigger part of the show and they can do promo segments and backstage segments.
“Like you were saying back when you were there, we had 3 women’s storylines on a 2-hour show and that was when I was still with James [Ellsworth], so we know it’s a possibility,” Carmella continued. “We know that they’re capable of doing that. I think sometimes there’s this weird shift and people kind of forget. We need to remind them, no. We are a big part of the show. We don’t have to have matches every week, we can do promo segments or backstage segments, even a 30-second insert into the show, just to show hey, here she is. She’s represented on the show. Then, if people are talking about it, maybe next week we give her a little bit of a longer segment because people want to see that. Whether it’s me, or whoever it may be.” (H/T: Fightful)
