WWE SmackDown Superstar Carmella appeared on this week’s episode of The Bellas Podcast. Carmella discussed a number of topics during the interview, including the recent WWE releases of Billie Kay and Peyton Royce.
Carmella seemed as shocked as anyone that the former IIconics were sent packing just a couple of weeks ago from WWE. Billie Kay in particular seemed to have carved a perfect niche for herself in a comedy role on SmackDown; Kay had begun teaming with Carmella before getting released in April.
“I think everyone was,” Carmella began on the podcast, saying how the release of the two IIconics shocked the WWE locker room. “I don’t know what the right or wrong thing to say is. All I can speak from is my experience and we were super excited for this story.”
“I felt like ‘I’m done with this whole sexy gimmick they want me to do or try to be sexy’” Carmella added. “Which is fine and it’s fun to be sexy, but I wanted to show my personality more. I wanted to show a little bit more of a fun side.”
“And I was really looking forward to doing that with Billie [Kay]” Carmella continued. “Our entrance alone, she was cracking me up. She was so funny. I was really looking forward to where that was going to go. And obviously, unfortunately, we can’t do that any more.”
“Those two were some of my closest friends since I’ve been here, since they got here,” Carmella noted. “So this was the first time I was like really rocked by a release. I was like ‘wow. These are my friends. They’re not just my co-workers.”
