Carmella is heartbroken over losing friendship with 5-time Champion

WWE Superstar and the #1 contender for Bayley's SmackDown Live Women's title, Carmella recently posted a photo album on her official Instagram handle, highlighting her friendship with the Champion.

On last week's edition of SmackDown Live, Carmella won a #1 contender's match to bag an opportunity for Bayley's title. Carmella didn't get to celebrate her win for long though, as the Champion surprised her from behind and left her laying, to a chorus of boos.

Carmella's heartfelt Instagram post showcased several pictures that prove how close both women used to be once. She wrote in the caption that it's crazy what this industry does to friendships, and stated that it breaks her heart knowing what Bayley has turned into.

Carmella has won the SmackDown Live Women's title on one occasion. She won the first-ever Women's Money In The Bank Ladder match at the namesake PPV in 2017, and cashed in the briefcase on Charlotte Flair to win her first and only Women's title, a year later.

Mere days before losing her friendship with Bayley, Carmella talked about how her pairing with R-Truth abruptly came to an end, and that she misses the former US Champion. A Championship victory could be exactly the thing Carmella needs at this point in time to lift her spirits up.

Given the opportunity to script WWE’s next big storyline, Abhilash would treat fans to the second installment of The Bloodline Civil War. He would book Roman Reigns to re-form The Bloodline with The Usos and Sami Zayn upon his comeback. The angle would see The Tribal Chief-led group go head-to-head with The Rock, Solo Sikoa, Tama Tonga, and Jacob Fatu in a blockbuster family feud.

When not reporting on pro wrestling, Abhilash likes to work out, go on walks, read, and explore new eateries.
