Booker T comments on Carmella.
Earlier this month, Carmella appeared on the Barely Famous podcast and explained the situation surrounding her departure from WWE. The former Women's Champion noted that she was ghosted by the company when she had offered to return to the company in a non-wrestling capacity last Summer.
Carmella also brought up the idea that she could have been treated differently by the company simply because of her pregnancy or because she's a woman, noting that Big E and Corey Graves were given on-screen roles when injuries halted their career.
On the latest edition of his Hall Of Fame podcast, Booker T commented on the situation, saying that Carmella is talented enough to continue her wrestling career.
“You know, I’ll tell you man, it’s tough. It’s tough when your number come up in this business. That’s the thing, a lot of people’s number come up when they’re not ready. I mean, maybe she just wasn’t ready for what was getting ready to happen to her. But, you know, I really think Carmella had talent to where if she wanted to keep this thing going, she could definitely keep it going. I can tell you — I can’t speak for a female, but it’s got to be hard for the ladies that are — You know, Sarah Logan, she’s not around right now, I don’t know what her contract situation is. She’s not around in the ring a lot whole, it’s gotta be tough. It’s a double edged sword. I know these ladies want to have kids also before it get too late. I look at it and say, man, it’s tough. It’s tough but don’t let what happened define you, you got to define yourself.”
Fightful will continue to provide updates on Carmella and her potential future return to wrestling.
