#2 Carmella comments on watching WWE Money In The Bank from home

One notable absentee from the WWE Money In The Bank pay-per-view card was former SmackDown Women’s Champion Carmella, who was also the first holder of the women’s MITB briefcase. Carmella ended up holding the briefcase for 287 days before successfully cashing in on Charlotte Flair.

In a recent interview with Sportskeeda Wrestling’s Rick Ucchino, Carmella opened up about watching MITB from home and said that it was a weird feeling watching the show on television this year:

To me, the Money In The Bank pay-per-view is my favourite PPV of the year. That's where Carmella thrives, you know, Mella is Money, she was the first Miss Money In The Bank, so it was very weird to be watching it from my couch (laughs), very weird although it was nice to have a little glass of wine so that made it a little bit better but it was definitely weird. It was my first time not being a part of the Money In The Bank pay-per-view. The first one I won the briefcase, the second one I had my championship match against Asuka, the following year I was in the ladder match. Last year I got to do the ladder match at [WWE] Headquarters which was wild and insane. So it was very weird not to be a part of it but it is what it is. H/T: Sportskeeda

Carmella faced Bianca Belair on WWE SmackDown from the Rolling Loud festival last week, but turned up short against the champion.

During an interview with Sportskeeda, Carmella also opened up about her run as Miss Money In The Bank.
