Carmella: ‘I Have Been Doubted Since Day One’

Hollywood Life recently interviewed WWE Superstar Carmella ahead of Sunday’s Money in the Bank event. Below are some highlights.

Carmella on the meaning behind her wine brand “Boss B****”: “I think it is all about owning who you are. It doesn’t matter if you are a stay at home mom or you are working on Wall Street. At the end of the day, if you are working hard and you are who you are, then you are authentic. Be yourself, no matter what challenges come in your way. You can shut them down, and you can overcome it. My life, for example, it is a perfect testament for that, Never in a million years did I think I would become a professional wrestler. But I got into it. My Dad was a wrestler when I was a kid, and I worked really hard and trained my butt off. I became champion in just a few short years, so I felt like I want to conquer this wine world. But, I also want it to adapt to my life and make it something that people when they drink it, they feel like a boss bitch. The bottle itself is so fabulous and so fancy. So, when you see it on the shelf, I think it will really catch your eye. You are going to think it is expensive and when you pick it up, it is less than twenty bucks. So, bougie on a budget!”

Carmella on if she can win Money in the Bank again: “I am used to having a target on my back. I have always had a target on my back, ever since I started with the WWE. I have been doubted since day one. I was the very last draft pick to come to Smackdown Live. I was the last one picked so everyone can relate to being the last one picked in gym class but you know what? I have something to prove. That is what I have done my entire career. I was never the chosen one. I was never on the independents. I never did anything prior to being with the WWE. So, I feel like the people who doubt me, I want to prove them wrong. I want to be a Capo Cagna!”

Carmella on what she will do when she wins the contract:Carmella on her perfect date night: “I think my perfect date night would be to go out for some pizza and some wings and listening to a jukebox. I really love a good dive bar, and I know people think I would be some bougie chick. I mean, once in a while I would like to be wined and dined. Don’t get me wrong! But, I much more prefer to be in a dive bar and listen to music. Maybe go to a dive bar that has Capo Cagna because it is affordable AF!”
