Carmella came under fire from the WWE Universe after she lashed out at a rising NXT star on social media.

Carmelo Hayes joined WWE in 2021 and quickly became one of the most popular stars in NXT. He is a two-time NXT North American Champion as well as a former NXT Cruiserweight Champion.

The 28-year-old has incorporated a number of catchphrases into his character, which has undoubtedly played a part in him getting over with fans. One of the catchphrases is 'Melo is Money' which is quite similar to Carmella's 'Mella is Money'.

The Massachusetts-born star was in action at NXT Vengeance Day when he took on Apollo Crews in a best two out of three falls match. After his victory, Carmella tweeted, asking Melo to stop using her catchphrase. When Hayes asked her which one she was talking about, the Princess of Staten Island doubled down on her initial statement.

While it is entirely possible that this is a pre-planned work, fans were not happy with the former SmackDown Women's Champion calling out the rising star.
