WWE News: Carmella's reaction when she heard Big Cass was injured

What's the story?

Injuries are unfortunately commonplace in professional wrestling due to the amount of punishment and travel Superstars put on their body. When Big Cass went down with a torn ACL the day after SummerSlam, it was an awful experience.

A lot of people were wondering how Cass's real-life partner, Carmella, took the news. During a recent interview with TV Insider, Natalya revealed how The Princess Of Staten Island remained a true professional through it all.

In case you didn't know...

Many couples have gotten together while in NXT, so Big Cass and Carmella's relationship isn't anything unusual. They have been able to make it work in spite of their different schedules which are both very busy.

Carmella is set to be featured on the upcoming season of Total Divas along with Big Cass so fans will get a much better idea of what these two are like behind closed doors.

The heart of the matter

Natalya was interviewed by TV Insider when the subject of Big Cass' injury was brought up. Nattie was with Carmella when the news broke about Cass' knee injury and she remembers Carmella being scared and upset. She said:

“I was with Carmella and was literally going through the curtain with her at a live event when she got the news Big Cass blew out his knee. She was so scared and upset, seconds away from going out to perform. She was such a professional and focused on the match. I don’t know if I could have done that, and I’ve been wrestling since I was 18. A true pro.”

What's next?

With such a mature mindset, it's no wonder Carmella became Miss Money In The Bank. There could be very big things in the pipeline for Carmella as she walks her pet James Ellsworth to the ring.

ACL tears like the one Big Cass suffered usually take around nine months of recovery time. Therefore, he may miss WrestleMania. But when he comes back, he might just have a different demeanour than the remorseless heel he portrayed before his injury.

Author's take

It's not surprising to hear Carmella took the news about Big Cass like a pro. After all, she is a product of the WWE Performance Center, where they teach students how to be a WWE Superstar.

With Carmella's training and the teachers she had in developmental, the Princess of Staten Island is probably prepared for anything the world of professional wrestling can throw her way.
