The Princess of Staten Island made her return in January in a backstage interview on WWE RAW. The only two-time Money in the Bank winner made her in-ring return a week later against Candice LeRae, Piper Niven, and Michin Mia Yim in a fatal-four-way match. She pinned the Poison Pixie to qualify for the Women’s Elimination Chamber match. During the latest episode of ‘After The Bell‘, The former SmackDown Women’s Champion opened up about her return and her character. She said, “This is the character that is so near and dear to my heart. I created this character in NXT, it’s me, it’s part of me, it’s me just turned way up. I feel so confident and comfortable in this role.”

Carmella managed to fight her way to the end but was unable to go all the way through as Asuka eliminated her with the Asuka Lock, forcing her to tap and punch her WrestleMania ticket.

Back in October, the wife of Corey Graves took to social media to reveal a tragic story. Carmella revealed that she had a miscarriage in September and was treated for an ectopic pregnancy. Carmella said via her Instagram post, “I spent 12 hours in the ER on Saturday when I started experiencing some sharp pains on my left side. After several tests and ultrasounds, I was given the devastating news that this was, in fact, an abnormal pregnancy.”

Back in 2022, The Princess of Staten Island claimed to be a Boujee Queen. She considered her face to be the ‘Money maker’ and would compete in matches wearing an expensive mask to protect her face. Carmella also had a brief partnership with Queen Zelina. The duo also held the WWE Women’s Tag Team Championships at one point.

The last time fans saw Carmella inside the squared circle was back in August last year. It was at a WWE Live Event. She was in a triple-threat match against Asuka and Bianca Belair for the RAW Women’s Title. During the match, Asuka was held in the corner by Carmella while Bianca Belair was on the turnbuckle. The EST of WWE tried to backflip back onto the mat, but in the process, she seemingly bumped heads with the Princess of Staten Island. Carmella then immediately rolled out of the ring, and it was later revealed that she was injured.

Tonight on Monday Night RAW, The Fabulous One is set to battle Asuka in a one-on-one match. Is Carmella ready for the Emperess of Tomorrow? Tune in to RAW and find out.
