WWE star Carmella was recently interviewed by TV Insider to talk about several professional wrestling topics. Carmella offered her thoughts on intergender wrestling in WWE, playing a the role of a heel, partnering with R-Truth for the Mixed Match Challenge, and her ?Mella Is Money? catch phrase. Here are the highlights:
Intergender wrestling in WWE:
?The other night Truth had a match with Andrade [Cien Almas], and Zelina [Vega] was out there. I pulled her off the apron, and the crowd went nuts. I think when there is this intergender concept is happening, it?s different. You don?t know what is happening or what to expect, where if it?s just a women?s match you know they are going to fight. But when there are men and women involved, you just don?t know. I think it?s unexpected.?
Playing a heel:
?I know my role as a bad guy is to get everyone to hate me. If I try to act cool and do things that get a positive reaction, then I?m not doing anything for the person I?m in the ring with. I don?t want to be somewhat cheered and somewhat hated. I went out there wanting people to hate me, and I?m going to do everything I possibly can to get everyone to do that. I just feel it?s important to do what?s right and not necessarily what is right for you but right for everybody.?
Teaming with R-Truth for the Mixed Match Challenge:
?It?s only been a few weeks, so it?s crazy it has turned into this. That?s the same thing with Big E and New Day. I didn?t really know them until we were paired together for the Mixed Match Challenge. We just had this instant connection and great chemistry. It was just fun. I?m game to make a fool of myself. I don?t care. I?m game to have a good time and play a character and know my role.
?Whether it was being a manager for Enzo and Big Cass in NXT and then with James Ellsworth and now with R-Truth. It?s cool to show different sides of myself and my character. I feel like not that many people get to do that. They sort of stay the same their entire career, but I totally am open to all aspects of Carmella.?
?Mella Is Money?:
?The ?Mella Is Money? is something I just started saying. And now it?s a thing. The laugh to me is kind of my natural laugh. If I really want to go nuts on laughing and think something is hilarious, that?s how I laugh. I guess it has become a thing now.?
