Quotes from Carmella

It just brings a different element to the table when you're wrestling with a guy as a partner because you don't know what's going to happen. When you have just a regular women's match or regular men's match you know they're going to fight. When there's a little bit of a mixture, you never know what's going to happen, and I think it's a lot of fun.

It's always fun to play the bad guy, that's for sure.

I know my role as a bad guy is to get everyone to hate me.

My name will always go down in history as the first Miss Money in the Bank. It's so cool!

It's so fun because the Carmella you see on 'SmackDown Live' is so different to me. It's great to be able to portray this character in a way that I never would in real life.

I have a background in dance, so I danced my entire life, since I was three years old.

I was a dancer for over 20 years.

I would love to see The IIconics become the first women tag team champions.

When I was in NXT, I never wrestled on a TakeOver. I didn't have too many high-profile matches: I probably wrestled about 10 matches in total on NXT TV, including the one championship match against Bayley, which was so much fun and my favorite match in NXT.

Bayley's my best friend. We've been friends since NXT. It sucks because she's on 'Raw' and I'm on 'SmackDown,' but we still talk every single day, and we're really good friends.

I feel very fortunate to be the face of the women's division on 'Smackdown Live' and defend that championship any opportunity that I get.

I depended a lot on being an over-the-top, ridiculous, obnoxious, Staten Island Princess. That's what I did, and I guess the rest is history.

My name is Carmella, and I'm the moonwalking, trash-talking princess of Staten Island.

There's nothing wrong with being a Diva. If it's because I take care of myself and look good, then I don't think there's anything wrong with that.
