5 Ways WWE could book Carmella heading into WrestleMania 36 

WrestleMania 36 is just a few weeks away as the WWE Universe is gearing up for yet another edition of the Showcase Of Immortals. As always, WWE has planned some mega matches for the event.

WWE made history last year by allowing the women to close the show. The chances that the same happens this year are very low, however, there will be a lot of focus on the women’s division as for the first time, four women’s titles could be on the line at WrestleMania. Speaking of the Women’s division, the fans are intrigued to know what would Carmella do at this year’s show.

The former SmackDown Women’s champion had won the Women’s Battle Royale last year hence, fans of Carmella will have high hopes from the creative team this year. Here are the five ways WWE can book her heading into WrestleMania 36.

#5 Turns heel, feuds with Lacey Evans

Future's so bright my big hats help with shade yall 💅👒 #BlessHerHeart Yall smell that? I'm over here at a spa minding my own business & it starts reeking of jealousy, discontent & classlessness. swallow it, ya Nasty. #NothingButANasty #HardPillToSwallow pic.twitter.com/1Plskg2JCC

Starting with the least likeliest option, The Princess Of Staten Island could turn heel and kick off a rivalry with the newest babyface of the women's division, Lacey Evans. The feud between Evans and Carmella can play the role of a secondary rivalry in the SmackDown Women's Division.

Both the Superstars have the caliber to pull off a good feud and, they even possess decent mic skills. Carmella has worked as a heel in the past where she attracted a lot of heat from the fans. Given that she has not been able to win her last two matches, WWE can have a frustration angle which could lead to her heel turn.

A frustrated Carmella would then destroy Evans after she would eliminate her in the Chamber match next month. This rivalry can then entertain the fans in the WrestleMania season.

#4 Host of WrestleMania 36

Alexa Bliss hosted last year's WrestleMania

WWE always announces a special host for every WrestleMania event and over the years several big names like The Rock, Hulk Hogan, The New Day and even Kim Kardashian have hosted this marquee show.

The company selected Alexa Bliss to host last year’s WrestleMania where Little Miss Bliss welcomed everyone to the show along with Hulk Hogan.

While the host does not have a major role at WrestleMania, Carmella can showcase her mic skills at the event. Perhaps she could be given an opportunity to alter one of the matches and announce Ronda Rousey’s return just like New Day welcomed back the Hardy Boyz to WWE three years ago.

Looking at the stacked up Women’s division of the Blue brand, the probability that Carmella makes it to the main match card is very low. Although the Princess of Staten Island can still get herself a mega match at WrestleMania 36, WWE would consider giving her some mainstream attention by declaring her as the host. Besides, this could also help Carmella gain the limelight, which could lead to a massive push in the future.

#3 Enters the Women's Battle Royal once again

Carmella might enter this match once again

Looking at the success of the Men’s Andre the Giant Memorial Battle Royale, WWE launched the WrestleMania Women’s Battle Royale at WrestleMania 34. Former SmackDown Women’s champion, Naomi won the first match while another Carmella won in 2019.

Given that WWE has a large bunch of female Superstars on their roster, they cannot fit everyone on the main matchcard. Thus, they organize this match on the kick-off show where all the Superstars who missed out on a match, get an opportunity to showcase their talent at the big stage.

As mentioned ahead, the enormous talent present on the Blue brand may prevent Carmella from having a singles match at WrestleMania. The Princess of Staten Island might find herself in the same match that she won last year. WWE would even use that angle to hype up the match as Carmella will be defending her trophy at this year’s event.

She had eliminated Sarah Logan last to win the WrestleMania Women’s Battle Royale at the 35th edition of the event, but if she enters the match once again, the chances of her winning the match will be very less.

#2 Earns an opportunity to battle Bayley

After all, Bayley did not defeat Carmella clean

The fans who watched the last two episodes of the Blue brand would know how much Carmella has improved inside the ring. She has delivered two stellar performances and would have definitely caught the eye of the backstage officials. If given the time and freedom, the former SmackDown Women’s Champion can produce quality matches.

Her SmackDown Women’s Championship match versus Bayley lasted nearly 15 minutes while her No.1 contender’s bout against Naomi went on for 12 minutes and 45 seconds. Since the WWE Universe enjoyed both the matches, there is a slim possibility that WWE would consider pushing Carmella at WrestleMania 36.

While the current champion, Bayley, will put her title on the line against Naomi at WWE Super Showdown, the heel is expected to come out of Saudi Arabia as the champion. The fans should note that Bayley had not defeated Carmella clean on the SmackDown episode where they had their title bout.

So, WWE could use that angle to keep her in the title picture and a victory at Elimination Chamber can lead Carmella to the biggest match of her career.

#1 Forms a tag team with Naomi; Battles for the Women's tag team championships

Carmella and Naomi are good friends on TV

This seems to be the best option for Carmella. The reigning women’s tag team champions, Asuka and Kairi Sane have little competition on the Red brand and now that Asuka’s feud with Becky Lynch has culminated, the duo will need fresh opponents.

Since there is only one pair of the Women’s Tag Team Championships between two brands, WWE would consider involving the teams from SmackDown in the mix at WrestleMania 36. SmackDown’s Women’s division has two major tag teams, namely Fire and Desire and the team of Alexa Bliss and Nikki Cross.

While the chances that the team of Sonya Deville and Mandy Rose exists. But until the chances are low because Deville will likely turn her back on Rose soon.

Alexa and Nikki have lost to Sane and Asuka in the past so it would make sense to have a new team challenge the Japanese pair at the grandest event.

Speaking of new teams, WWE can capitalize on the newly formed bond between Naomi and Carmella. The two female Superstars have worked together in the past and there can be a No.1 Contender’s match at Elimination Chamber where they can defeat the other teams in competition. This is perhaps the likeliest option WWE will take at WrestleMania.
