Former SmackDown Women’s Champion Carmella recently took part an interview with TVInsider, where she spoke about everything from WWE 2K19 to her incredible rise to the top of the women’s division.
On her WWE 2K19 rating:
“First off can we talk about how I’m an 80 in the game. That’s so cool. I thought maybe I’d get 47 or something. I didn’t know what I would have, but it’s just so crazy. Even being here in the Performance Center where I would think where I wanted my career to go, where I wanted it to be and where I wanted it to end up.
On her rise to the top:
“Never in a million years would I expect it to be where it is right now. Not that I didn’t want it. It’s just surreal that I was the first Ms. Money in the Bank. I was champion. I beat Asuka twice. I beat Charlotte twice. When I was here if I told people, I would be doing this, people would laugh. They’d probably say, ‘Yeah right. Carmella?’ But I did it baby.”
On being a heel:
“I know my role as a bad guy is to get everyone to hate me,” she said. “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.”
On the women’s evolution:
“To know that we’re in the middle of the women’s revolution. The first-ever women’s Royal Rumble. The first-ever women’s Money in the Bank and all these other first ever things. And knowing my name will always go down in history, it’s so cool.”
