Former WWE Star Carmella Says She Pitched To Work With Pretty Deadly Prior To Release

Former WWE star Carmella spoke to Joseph Staszewski of the New York Post in an interview where she revealed that prior to her release, she was working hard in trying to get back on TV even though complications may have prevented her from actually wrestling. Notably, Carmella shared that one of the pitches she made was to work with Pretty Deadly - Elton Prince and Kit Wilson - and that her prior experience working in acts with R-Truth and James Ellsworth would have set up the group to hae success.

"I pitched to work with Pretty Deadly. That was my idea. I reached out to them first, and they loved the idea. They were all on board. We came up with different ideas, pitches, and storylines. That’s when I was talking to the head writer about these ideas that we had. They were doing a musical at the time. They were pitching this musical. The musical was going to bomb, and then I was going to show up, and I was so excited. I feel like it was a perfect mesh of all of our characters. I love working with characters with R-Truth, James Ellsworth. The more ridiculous, the better. They are so all about their character that I feel it would have worked so well."

"Everyone was on board and everyone really liked it. Who knows, maybe someday in the future. When I was talking with the writer, we were like, ‘Maybe I will be part of the musical. I’ve always wanted to be on Broadway. Can I be in the musical?’ He’s like, ‘Well, maybe. I don’t know with the filming if it will work out timing-wise.’ The ideas we were coming up with were insane, but to be part of a WWE musical, that would have been ridiculous, but Carmella would have thrived."
