The Carmellabration gets interrupted
New Champs in WWE! More RIGHT HERE
James Ellsworth said he was cancelling Independence Day because they were there to celebrate something “way more important”: Carmellabraton. She began talking about the power she possesses with the briefcase and the champion Naomi came out.
She told Carmella that she wasn’t scared that Carmella held the contract. She then looked at Ellsworth and said that someone had words for them, and out came the General Manager Daniel Bryan. The crowd began chanting his name, and he made James shut up.
Bryan banned Ellsworth from the building, fined him $10,000 and suspended him for 30 days without pay. Bryan then further said that if he didn’t leave right then, Carmella would be stripped of the briefcase. Carmella then made sure Ellsworth left at that moment.
