She had been on hiatus anyway after starting a family with WWE colour commentator Corey Graves.

But Carmella looks in-ring ready and then some as she stuns in her latest social media post on Instagram.

Plenty of WWE stars past and present took the time to like and comment on the post including both Bella Twins, Samantha Irvin, Mia Yim, Cassie Lee (Peyton Royce in the Iiconics), Natalya, Lana, Jaida Parker and Kelly Kelly.

The former WWE superstar still has a following of 3.1 million on IG despite her absence from the ring.

She has been concentrating on starting her family with Graves. They welcomed their first child in November 2023 before their second arrived in October last year.

Considering Carmella is only five months removed from giving birth, that makes her remarkable body shape even more incredible.

Carmella first applied to WWE’s recruitment show Tough Enough back in 2010, but she ended up withdrawing from the process after being accepted to be a Los Angeles Laker Girl – essentially a cheerleader.

She would win the Money in the Bank match in 2017 and become champion in April 2018.

Carmella would also win the Women’s Battle Royal at WrestleMania 35 and she had one reign as a Women’s Tag Team champion with Zelina Vega.
