Carmella On Possibly Winning The WWE NXT Women's Title, Going From Being A Manager To A Wrestler

- WWE NXT Diva Carmella recently spoke with Fansided. The full interview is available at this link. Below are highlights:

You came into the NXT organization as a manager for the tag team of Enzo Amore and Colin Cassady. Now you have transitioned to become a big part of the women's roster. Was it difficult for you to make that switch?

I don't think so, no. It's just so crazy though. I was a cheerleader for the most of my life and going out there with the boys was just so much fun. I mean, we get along so great and they are my friends. Now, roles have changed a little bit. Instead of people just cheering Enzo and Cass on they get to cheer me on as well and see what I am all about. The roles have definitely changed a bit. I have to be on my game and show the audience and my peers that I'm not just a manager on the sidelines.

It's still cool, though, that even though I'm with the boys at times I'm still training five days a week inside the ring. People might be a little impressed with me every time I step into the ring, I'm not going to lie. They will see what hard work have been putting in over the last two and a half years.

The main roster is featuring more and more of the Divas division recently. How have you seen the women in the WWE not only grow individually but as a group since you started in the company in 2013?

Well when I first started the Divas Revolution was just beginning. So to see how far it's come, such as [with] Sasha and Bayley with the match of the year, it's amazing. I have been put in a great situation where I was No. 1 contender for the Women's title. It's just that looking back on where I was and where I'm at now is mind blowing. The fact that Triple H is giving us the opportunities to show the skills and talent we have is humbling and gives you the motivation to put on the best performance.

Capturing the Women's Championship would be amazing. Looking at Bayley, who is my best friend and whose taught me so much, and [if] I was to win the title one day I would love for it to be against her. I don't come from a wrestling background even though my father was one and being a dancer and cheerleader doesn't turn into wrestling skills. That's really a testament to our trainers at the Performance Center as well as all the hard work I am putting in. The hard work has gotten me to this point and I will continue to put in the time and the effort to continue chasing my goals.
