Carmella is one of WWE’s biggest female superstars. The former Women’s Champion made her way up quickly in the company and achieved the success very few wrestlers have in such short time. She is also one of WWE’s most hated heel character which says a lot about the gimmick she plays.

Carmella too a part of the NFL before joining the wrestling business. She was a cheerleader for the New England Patriots and remained so for three seasons. In 2010, she moved on from there and auditioned for the Los Angeles Lakers’ dance team. She stuck with that for about a year before becoming a wrestling manager, and later a professional wrestler.
