Former champion reacts after her finisher appears on AEW Collision
Summary
– Carmella teased a possible in-ring return after reacting to B3CCA using a similar finisher on AEW Collision
– She said there is a difference between homage and theft and reminded fans she never retired
– Carmella has not wrestled since March 2023 and remains listed on WWE’s roster page
Carmella has sparked fresh return speculation after reacting to an AEW Collision moment that appeared to feature a version of her signature Code of Silence submission move.
The former WWE SmackDown Women’s Champion responded after independent wrestler B3CCA used a similar hold against Kris Statlander during this week’s episode of AEW Collision.
Carmella quickly took notice on social media and made it clear she had thoughts about seeing a move closely connected to her being used on television.
She posted that there is a difference between homage and theft, reminding fans that she never officially retired from wrestling.
She also pointed out that her time away from the ring was due to having two babies, not because she chose to walk away from the business permanently.
Carmella then added that she might need to come back herself and show everyone how it is really done, instantly creating discussion about a possible return.
Her comments were enough to get fans talking, especially since she has been absent from WWE television for more than two years.
Carmella’s last match took place in March 2023 during a Road to WrestleMania live event at Madison Square Garden.
She teamed with Damage CTRL members Bayley, Dakota Kai, and IYO SKY alongside Piper Niven in that final appearance before stepping away.
Despite reacting to an AEW clip, there is currently no indication that she is planning a move to All Elite Wrestling if she does return to the ring.
There is also no confirmed update regarding a WWE comeback, although she remains listed on the company’s official roster page.
B3CCA, the wrestler involved in the AEW moment, is an independent talent who has recently been appearing on Collision.
Her submission against Kris Statlander was what led to Carmella’s playful but pointed reaction online.
For now, there is no official return date, but Carmella has clearly reminded fans that her wrestling story may not be finished just yet.
hmmm.. there’s a difference between homage and theft…
I didn’t retire, I had two babies… might have to come back and show these bitches how it’s really done🤑 https://t.co/zxRgh3RWDB
