WWE continues to evolve, with new stars rising to the top. However, fans have been eager to see the return of those who paved the way for the future. One such star is Carmella, who has been absent from WWE since March 2023. Recently, she provided a health update amid her hiatus from the Stamford-based promotion.
In an Instagram story, the former Women’s Champion opened up about the challenges women face during childbirth. She acknowledged that it’s all part of the process and shared that she has been navigating these struggles for the past 14 months. Alongside a photo, the 37-year-old emphasized the strength and resilience of women in society as she continues her journey toward recovery.
Last year, Carmella revealed that she developed flat feet after giving birth, leaving her wrestling return uncertain. It seems she is still on the road to recovery following a challenging childbirth experience. However, the former Women’s Champion has been keeping fans updated with regular posts about her progress.

The 37-year-old last competed on the March 6, 2023, episode of Monday Night Raw against Bianca Belair. Following that match, she went on maternity leave as she prepared to welcome her child with WWE commentator Corey Graves. As she continues her recovery, only time will tell when Carmella will make her highly anticipated return to WWE.
Carmella’s return can boost the women’s division in WWE
A significant portion of the WWE fanbase has been eagerly anticipating Carmella’s return, and for good reason. She has carved out a historic career with notable victories and memorable moments. Her comeback could inject much-needed excitement into the women’s division, providing a fresh dynamic to the current landscape.
The Princess of Staten Island made history as the first-ever Ms. Money in the Bank in WWE. She solidified her legacy by successfully cashing in her contract on SmackDown after WrestleMania 34 in 2018. Throughout her career, Carmella has been involved in intense rivalries with top stars like Charlotte Flair, Naomi, and former WWE star Mercedes Mone.
If the 37-year-old returns to WWE, she could bring a fresh dynamic to the women’s division. Her comeback would add another established name to the roster, creating new storyline possibilities. Moreover, as a former Women’s Champion, Carmella has always thrived as a heel. This could set up compelling rivalries against top babyfaces like Lyra Valkyria, Bayley, or even Rhea Ripley.
