Carmella shares unfortunate update amid WWE absence

WWE Superstar Carmella recently took to social media to share an unfortunate personal update amid her absence from the Stamford-based promotion. In her post, the 37-year-old explained why she had to cut her holiday short and go back home.

Carmella last competed on WWE television on the March 6, 2023, edition of Monday Night RAW, where she locked horns with Bianca Belair. After losing the bout, she went on a hiatus due to her pregnancy. In November 2023, the former SmackDown Women's Champion and her husband, Corey Graves, were blessed with a baby boy. Since then, rumors of her return to the Stamford-based promotion have been doing the rounds on social media.

Amid these rumors, Carmella recently took to her Instagram Stories to share an unfortunate update. In her post, the 37-year-old revealed that she had to cut her holiday short because her baby could not sleep for more than two hours in a new place, and it was becoming very stressful for her.

The former SmackDown Women's Champion also mentioned that they planned on staying in her condo for two more weeks but had to return to her home because of her baby boy.

"And just like that, we're heading back to PGH. We were supposed to stay for another two weeks, but baby boy hasn't slept longer than a two hour stretch all week and everyone is miserable. I'm bummed we can't stay at my condo and enjoy our time there like we usually do after the holidays... but it's just not worth it to me. We need to get back to our home and his familiar surroundings," she wrote.

Carmella talked about her injury amid her WWE absence

During an edition of Chris Van Vliet's INSIGHT, Carmella said that she would love to return to WWE television, but she was currently invested in her motherhood.

The former WWE SmackDown Women's Champion also revealed that she had suffered an injury during labor and has been struggling with back and foot issues.

"I would love to return. I mean, obviously, I’m so immersed in this motherhood world right now. But honestly, I actually have an injury from delivery. So I have a lot of nerve damage that has happened, and my foot is kind of non-functional right now. So it’s something that I never knew could happen during labor and delivery. But I have two herniated discs in my back, and that is correlated to my foot. So I haven’t even been able to work out. I haven’t been able to do anything that will get me back to the ring quite yet," she revealed.

It remains to be seen when Carmella will be fully recovered to return to the WWE ring.
