She might not be the Smackdown Women’s Champion anymore but Carmella is still one of the featured performers on the brand. She recently introduced a new look at a WWE live event in Tucson, Arizona.





Carmella has been working in triple threat matches for the Smackdown Women’s Championship at live events lately, though it’s not clear if that’s what match she wrestled in this weekend.

On WWE programming she has been aligned with R-Truth as of late. The two comprise a team for the WWE Mixed Match Challenge as well.

The former Smackdown Women’s Champion has been a staunch defender of the term Diva as of late. Recently on Twitter, she responded to an article which blasted the Bella Twins as holding back the women’s evolution.

“This is an embarrassing article,” Carmella Tweeted about an article critical of the Bellas. “Every single woman from the past and current roster have made women’s wrestling what it is. EVERYONE is deserving. Enough of the negativity around the “diva” moniker.”

Smackdown General Manager Paige also chimed in and voiced support for both Brie Bella and Nikki.
