Carmella's contract has expired - Interview drops March 7th

[BillyBob42]

Now I'm seeing WWE shills on social media trying to justify how they let Carmella go, this is a reprehensible act that deserves to be called out.

Now I'm seeing WWE shills on social media trying to justify how they let Carmella go, this is a reprehensible act that deserves to be called out.

We have a thread for this so went ahead and moved the post.

 

[BillyBob42]

My guess is because she hasn’t improved a ton and the women in NXT have surpassed her and because of her situation they didn’t wanna release her with all the others and let her contract run out. But they definitely should have like told her that. Corey can’t be long for WWE it would seem now if his wife is that upset.

Hasn't improved a ton? She was one of the most talented women on the roster, the hell?

 

[BillyBob42]

No point signing her to a new deal when there's no indications as to whether or not she can come back. Probably just a mutual understanding that she needs to get her health sorted most importantly, then come back to the table for discussions if she wants to resume wrestling again.

This would make sense except, they have people under contract who aren't cleared to wrestle and gave them different roles. You mean to tell me they can have that nerd Sam Roberts on the panels, but not Carmella?

Ronda, Becky and Alexa had babies, they came back and it worked fine. I don't think that was the issue, I think she had other health problems and it was too risky to have her wrestle again.

But I feel like she would mention that if that was the case. But she seems to be confused by it herself. Like yeah maybe it's possible but I doubt that.

Didn't they mention she had a foot issue ?

 

[Lethal]

Very weird situation. She has had lots of health issues post pregnancy and seemed to be doing fine. Many women (Becky, Sarah Logan, Alexa Bliss, Candice LeRae) have given birth and made returns whilst maintaining contract, so there has to be something deeper going on. From my understanding it was letting the contract expire, not a release, so I can kinda see the justification like they did with Sonya Deville. Down the road the door should be open for a return but going on like this is gonna dampen it.

 

[Dale]

Reprehensible act for not renewing someone's contract

 

[Comrade Khan]

Aew cuts ppl when injured or sick : bad
WWE doesn't renew contract of person struggling with w medical issue : this is fine, just business .

More double standards

 

[Comrade Khan]

Also yes it's reprehensible to say ppl deserved to be let go, but as usual Dale has to mock anyone with any criticism towards his precious WWE and ppl with morals or standards are stupid for having them.

 

[Sky]

Thinking about it, what would she have to gain from lying here? There's no money in a "WWE bad" story, there's a million of those you could make and the masses still ignore it

 

[Comrade Khan]

My guess is because she hasn’t improved a ton and the women in NXT have surpassed her and because of her situation they didn’t wanna release her with all the others and let her contract run out. But they definitely should have like told her that. Corey can’t be long for WWE it would seem now if his wife is that upset.

would probably explain why he reacted how he did to the switch up in commentary - was probably already pissed

This feels like another "you were a Vince liked talent and I don't rate you" so instead of giving them a chance they are letting them go. Just like Corbin etc.

While not her biggest fan, to not give her a chance to prove herself after birth and injury is, indeed, pretty reprehensible.

 

[Comrade Khan]

I would wager Hunter would have cut Bliss too if she was not a merch monster for the exact same reason

You can easily go look at how these ppl were booked when Hunter ran NXT and rightfully guess how they will be booked today lol

 

[Dale]

People just handle shit differently. Some just roll with the punches, they've had a good/bad/indifferent time but it is what it is and they can just move on to the next, while some need an excuse/something to blame etc. We'll see how she comes across in the full interview.

At the end of the day though, there's been very recent examples of women coming back after having a baby so unless she can provide concrete proof that's why she wasn't brought back then it's not the best look for her.
