During an appearance on Corey Graves’ After The Bell podcast, Carmella talked about what happened at Summerslam 2021 with Becky Lynch returning and taking her spot against Bianca Belair in the Smackdown women’s title match:
“It was crazy. I watch them doing packages now and they just write me out of this history. First of all, I was part of this huge moment at SummerSlam. If my music had not hit initially, then I don’t think Becky would have gotten the reaction she did. I’m going to say that. I know that’s pretty cocky to say, but if Becky’s music hit first, would she have gotten a great reaction? Of course, she’s Becky Lynch. However, when my music hit, they were so mad. I’m walking down the aisle, taking my sweet time and relishing in this moment. So, when Becky’s music hit, it made it that much bigger. I’m proud of that moment.”
Carmella also addressed the negative reaction on social media to Becky Lynch as well as Becky’s match against Bianca and Sasha Banks at Crown Jewel…
“It’s insane. That’s Twitter for you. ‘We want Becky, we want Becky,’ now we have her, ‘Ah, we didn’t want her like that.’ Sorry, you can’t have your cake and eat it too, but that is wrestling Twitter. I’m excited for that match, those girls are going to tear it down, and I kinda want to see Bianca walk out as champion.”
