#5 Brains behind Carmella-Ellsworth union finally disclosed

Who was it who originally pitched the Carmella-Ellsworth idea? — Who was it that originally pitched the Carmella-Ellsworth team?

Surprise, surprise. It was Carmella, a marketing student in her youth, mind you, who pitched the alliance between her and Ellsworth. The latter disclosed the same during an episode of 'Dinner with the King':

I think it was last year at the European tour in November, she came to me and said, ‘Hey, I have this idea about putting you with me whenever you’re done with the Dean Ambrose and AJ stuff comes to an end, I have this idea to pitch to them. They put you with me, you fall in love with me, and I use that to my advantage to win matches and get me to the women’s title.

Vince McMahon loved the idea and the two of them have been going strong since. What a partnership and a dream run it has been for someone who was just brought in as mere enhancement talent.
