Booker T has recently opened up about Carmella‘s exit from WWE, and reacted to comments made by the former WWE star that she was not treated as well as she could have been.
During the latest episode of his Hall of Fame podcast, Booker T opened up about Carmella’s exit from the company and subsequent comments about how she thought she could have been treated better. Booker T said that the whole situation was “tough,” and that he thinks Carmella might not have been ready to come up. Despite that, he said that he believes Carmella has the talent to continue on in wrestling.
Booker T says Carmella’s release highlights a tough situation to be in
“You know, I’ll tell you man, it’s tough. It’s tough when your number come up in this business,” said Booker T (via Fightful). “That’s the thing, a lot of people’s number come up when they’re not ready. I mean, maybe she just wasn’t ready for what was getting ready to happen to her. But, you know, I really think Carmella had talent to where if she wanted to keep this thing going, she could definitely keep it going.
“I can’t speak for a female, but it’s got to be hard for the ladies that are [in this situation]. Sarah Logan, she’s not around right now, I don’t know what her contract situation is. She’s not around in the ring a lot whole, it’s gotta be tough. It’s a double edged sword. I know these ladies want to have kids also before it get too late. I look at it and say, man, it’s tough. It’s tough but don’t let what happened define you, you got to define yourself.”
Following Carmella’s exit from the company last month, she appeared on the Barely Famous podcast and spoke about the departure. In a series of comments, Carmella implied that she was essentially “ghosted” by WWE, and even offered to return to the company in a non-wrestling capacity last summer. She also believes she might have been treated a bit differently due to her pregnancy at the time. Carmella compared her absence to that of Big E and Corey Graves both still working with WWE despite not wrestling.
