Mickie James’ recent comments about someone devaluing women’s wrestling in WWE before her release have prompted mass criticism from fans.
Now, speaking to WWE Hall of Famers Brie and Nikki Bella, Carmella has weighed in on the criticism of how the women’s division is currently being showcased.
Speaking on The Bellas Podcast, Carmella explained that it’s “not okay” for there to be a couple of women or just one major storyline during three hours of WWE RAW each week.
Carmella then stated that she knows a more prominent female presence is possible, as it was when she was aligned with James Ellsworth on WWE SmackDown in 2017.
Carmella hasn’t been seen much on WWE TV recently
Carmella’s comments come at a time when featuring on WWE TV is a rarity for her.
Since losing her WWE SmackDown Women’s Championship match against Sasha Banks at the Royal Rumble in January, Carmella has appeared twice.
Her only SmackDown appearance since falling short against Banks was a pinfall defeat to Bianca Belair at the start of the month.
Before that, she was unsuccessful in the Women’s Rumble match, and most recently, she and Billie Kay failed to win the Tag Team Turmoil clash on night one of WrestleMania 37.
Do you agree with Carmella’s statements? Should there be a more prominent female presence on WWE TV? Are you surprised that she’s been so openly critical of the company? Sound off in the comments section.
