I love performing, and I was a dancer and then worked in the NFL and NBA, and I loved being in front of the crowd.

When I first got my ring name as Carmella, I knew I was just going to do whatever I could to create this over-ridiculous, over-the-top character that would just help me get my face, and I don't even know what I'm trying to say, but just get me out there and just show, like, 'OK, wow, we need to pay attention to this girl because she has something.'

I was a dancer and didn't ever think I could become a female wrestler, but here I am and doing it.
