#3 Will elevate Carmella up a few levels
Trending
I know that on paper, Carmella may be a champion but the truth is that the 24/7 Championship isn't the most valuable title in the roster. As Stevie Richards recently told us in an interview with our very own Gary Cassidy, the Hardcore Championship was conceived to shine a spotlight on the men in the undercard, so that everyone got used (I'm paraphrasing).
Despite the fact that she's a current champion, Carmella isn't even at the same level per se as a Sasha or Bayley, in the WWE hierarchy. One can argue that Charlotte Flair is the biggest star that the WWE Women's Division has at this point, and therefore, it will allow her to be elevated up a few rungs.
And the most important thing that this allows Carmella to do is shake off the notion that she's only a comedy character and nothing beyond that, owing to her partnership with R-Truth over the last few months. As she's been so strongly involved in the 24/7 Championship picture, it is sometimes easy to forget that she can be a top star if the situation so demands it.
Who would have thought she'd last longer than Enzo Amore or Big Cass?
