Another WWE Superstar who opted to stay at home and not participate in tapings due to the COVID-19 pandemic is Carmella - whose last significant role was being a title challenger to Bayley on the Road to WrestleMania 36. She was excluded from the SmackDown Women's Championship match at WrestleMania and returned after the Grandest Stage of Them All on the May 1 episode of SmackDown.

Carmella defeated Mandy Rose and qualified for the Women's Money in the Bank 2020 Ladder Match. Unfortunately, her appearance was rather forgettable despite being a past winner.

One of the interesting things about Carmella is that she's one of the few Superstars who has never changed brands since the 2016 Draft. She was the final overall pick at #50, which would normally be demoralizing, but she proved over the year that she deserved a much better spot.

While she hasn't been heavily involved in any high-level feud of late, she's still a big name in the women's division who will have a spot as long as she's present.

While there's no actual reason for her to go to RAW, a fresh start when she returns may not be a bad idea. Moreover, the RAW Women's division needs some babyfaces and she could fit the bill perfectly.
