#8 Carmella

You probably didn’t know Carmella was a second-generation superstar, and that’s through no fault of your own.

Her father, Paul Van Dale, is relatively unknown. According to ProFightDB, Van Dale only has 11 career matches under his belt, losing each of them. However, he did get to compete against the likes of Razor Ramon, Mr Perfect, and Shawn Michaels among others.

His daughter is already far more successful than he ever was, and seems to be getting better all the time. Carmella has actually developed into a solid heel in the SmackDown women’s division and is a million times more confident with a mic in her hand than she was just a few years ago.

At just 28 years old, Carmella has a long career ahead of her. And with a great look and passable in-ring skills to go along with her improved promos, she’ll be a valuable asset to WWE for years to come. And similar to Tamina, she could actually find herself as SmackDown Women’s champion sooner rather than later. due in part to the lack of depth in the division.

And hey, with James Ellsworth by her side, the sky really is the limit.
