The former Smackdown Women’s Champion Carmella recently had an interview with Rick Ucchino of Sportskeeda Wrestling and shared her thoughts on recent NXT call-ups to blue brand.
“It’s really cool, you know. I was just thinking earlier, I don’t know if we have had a proper draft or people getting called up since 2016, the original draft when they did the brand split. You know, there are a few people who have trickled in here and there on both sides but to have this new crop coming up is really cool, and it’s really exciting. It’s great for the division, well new and fresh match-ups, and it’s a fresh coat of paint for the characters that are already established here on SmackDown. It’s an opportunity to have new storylines. I’m really excited and I never get upset with more people coming in. I think the more, the merrier, the better. And I think it’s great for new opportunities for everyone,” Carmella said.
During the same interview, Carmella revealed that she wants to get in the ring with former NXT UK Women’s Champion Toni Strom.
“Oh I want to get in the ring with Toni Storm. I mean I’ve been seeing her wear some leopard prints. I’m like, ‘Uh-huh girl. That’s mine!’ (laughs)” (H/T: Sportskeeda)
Storm ONE! 🤘⚡️
