WrestleMania 39 is just around the corner and a plethora of top stars are set to make an appearance. Given the magnitude of an event like WrestleMania, it makes it an apt platform for WWE to surprise fans with top-notch matches, returns, and possible debuts of talent in the industry.

Carmella has been absent from the last two editions of RAW. In the weeks prior, an on-screen friendship was building up between Chelsea Green and her. It was speculated that the two would compete for a spot in the fatal-four-way tag team match at WrestleMania 39. However, Sonya Deville took her spot at the last moment this week.

There have been speculations on the former SmackDown Women's Champion suffering an injury with the extent and recovery period being uncertain, but there has been no confirmation on the matter.

With WrestleMania week underway, stars are scheduled for interactions and promotions for the event. IYO Sky recently took to Twitter to share images of her meeting the Los Angeles Angels. Additionally, Bobby Lashley and Carmella were also present while meeting the popular baseball team. Due to the uncertainty of events in the wrestling world, Mella could return to in-ring competition at WrestleMania 39 by assisting her new friend win at the event.

Last year, Carmella and Zelina Vega held the Women's Tag Team titles which they lost to Mercedes Mone (fka Sasha Banks) and Naomi at WrestleMania 38.


WrestleMania 39 is stacked with major feuds and titles on the line

WWE has left no opportunity unused to ensure everything is in line with the WrestleMania Goes Hollywood theme. Their recent parody clips of iconic scenes from movies featuring WWE stars have garnered quite a positive reaction from the wrestling fraternity.

Spanning across two nights, WrestleMania 39 has been packed with matches to keep fans on the edge of their seats.

Night 1 will kick off with John Cena going up against Austin Theory for the United States Championship. The Women's Tag Team Champions Becky Lynch and Lita will team up with Trish Stratus against Damage CTRL (Bayley, Dakota Kai, and IYO Sky) in a six-woman tag team match. Apart from the aforementioned, the following matches will also take place on the first night of the event:

The American Nightmare is persistent in his determination to add the WWE Championship to his family's legacy.
