PopCulture.com recently spoke to Carmellaย about winning tonight and beating Belair to win the title and become a triple-crown champion.ย
“That would be amazing. I mean, that’s the one title I have not, well, other than the NXT Women’s Championship, but I would love to become Raw Women’s Champion,” Carmella said. “[Current champion] Bianca Belair, she is a tough cookie, although I have beat her once. I did beat her, but we’ll see. I mean, you never know what the future holds right now. I’m just looking forward to what’s in front of me. But ultimately, would it be great to become Champion again? Of course, especially Raw Women’s Champions, it’s something I have not accomplished yet. So we’ll see. Fingers crossed.” ย
