Carmella just showed the price of being a WWE Superstar. On Sunday, the former Smackdown Women’s Champion went to Instagram to show off a black eye she received while wearing no makeup. In the caption, Carmella explained here reasoning for sharing the post.
“No filter. No makeup. I felt like this photo was very apropos after the first episode of Total Divas,” Carmella wrote. “Also – I hate when people say “well, it’s not ballet!” I was a dancer for over 20 years and that s–t was hard. So don’t compare the two.”

Carmella first mentioned the first episode of Total Divas and in that episode, she was arguing with Nia Jax about taking hits. Carmella referred to the time she was hit by Nikki Bella and received a black eye because of it.
“We’re trying to break barriers and we’re trying to tell people we can do things and we can make history and we can be the main event,” Jax said in the episode via E Online. “And it’s not gonna work if we’re sitting there and we’re running away from a hit.”
Carmella has been through a lot this year. Back in February, it as reported that WWE announcer Corey Graves cheated on his wife with Carmella which was also pointed out on the show. That led to Carmella responding to fans who have been attacking her for the relationship.
“Social media has made too many of you comfortable with disrespecting people and not getting punched in the mouth for it,” she said in a text message.
It appears the two are still together as Carmella posted a photo of the two in Las Vegas.
