WWE Superstar Carmella recently appeared on Ryan Satin’s Out of Character podcast. The former 2-time Women’s Money In The Bank discussed a number of topics during the show, including how Vince McMahon reacted big to one of her in-ring promos.
‘I was super excited. At that point in my career, I had never won a title and thought it was something that would solidify me as making history” Carmella began, talking about her winning the first ever Women’s Money In The Bank match.
“Even though I wasn’t the one grabbing the briefcase and I knew that would be very controversial, but I thought even better that it’s controversial because people would be talking about it” Carmella added. “It was trending on Twitter for a few days because people were so upset.”
“To me, I loved the drama, I loved the controversy around it. Because of that, we ended up having it again a week later, and I was able to grab it myself that time. I remember just thinking, ’˜I’m doing it. This is big. I’m doing something big.’”

“I came back through the curtain and Vince was so complimentary to me about my promo that night and was like, ’˜Some of my top guys can’t even cut a promo like that’” Carmella revealed. “So I was just so excited and it ended up hat I won it again. I think it really propelled my career.’
