Damian Priest, Maxxine Dupri and others react to WWE star's heartfelt message to Carmella

Carmella made her return to WWE TV for the February event, Elimination Chamber, after a lengthy hiatus. However, despite a tag team slowly budding on RAW between her and Chelsea Green, she disappeared altogether.

Later, it was disclosed that The Princess of Staten Island was pregnant. Her husband, Corey Graves, has now penned a message on Instagram on account of her birthday. She turned 36 on October 23rd.

Several stars who came across the post have reacted to it. Damian Priest, Maxxine Dupri, Angelo Dawkins, WWE Hall of Famer D-Von Dudley, and AEW personality Renee Paquette, among others.

"The Happiest of Birthdays to my Queen, my best friend, my wife, an amazing “bonus” mom, and mom-to-be. I’m grateful for another trip around the sun by your side. The best is yet to come. I love you, @carmellawwe," Graves wrote.

WWE star Carmella says she is grateful to be pregnant after two miscarriages

Carmella has mostly spent her time in WWE as one of the women's division's flagship superstars. She became the first-ever Ms. Money in the Bank, and went on to hold the SmackDown Women's Championship.

Now that she has stepped away from in-ring competition and the limelight in general, Carmella acknowledged her bliss of connecting with her body more during this time. While speaking to PEOPLE recently, the 36-year-old reflected on her pregnancy as she is getting closer to her due date:

"It's been a journey," she said. "I had two miscarriages last year. I had a chemical pregnancy, which is basically sort of a miscarriage very early on, and then I had a ectopic pregnancy in October, so those were kind of back to back." [H/T: PEOPLE]

Carmella also candidly spoke about her eventual return to the ring:

"I really just want to take my time recovering and making sure that I feel great and ready to go back and not sort of rushing because I don't even know what to expect as far as how I'm going to feel after having a baby," the 36-year-old revealed.

Finally, the former SmackDown Women's Champion remarked that it would be "cool" if her son became a third-generation superstar. For those unaware, Corey Graves is also a former professional wrestler. Be that as it may, Carmella added that it will be up to him.

WWE RAW star Maxxine Dupri recently disclosed her unique admiration for the first-ever Ms. Money in the Bank and even named the latter as one of her dream opponents. Read about it here.
