Carmella’s last match took place in March 2023, before she stepped away for maternity leave and later revealed she had been dealing with a post-childbirth complication known as drop foot. Despite her absence from the squared circle, her presence has remained strong in the wrestling world, with fans eager to see what’s next. The speculation is already running wild: Could she make a dramatic return to WWE? Or will she shake things up in AEW, Impact Wrestling, or even the international wrestling scene?

Regardless of where she lands, Carmella’s star power and adaptability make her a prime player in women’s wrestling. With a résumé that includes championship gold, reality TV (Total Divas), and even a fitness brand, she has plenty of options.
