Carmella finally cashed-in her MIB briefcase 2 weeks ago to become the new SmackDown LIVE Women's Champion, and the "Princess of Staten Island" has now shared a social media post detailing her rocky rise to the top.
Carmella first debuted on NXT as Enzo and Big Cass' manager, but when the guys were called up to the main roster she remained behind. Though she did eventually make her way to the Blue Brand (obviously), 'Mella says she needed to channel all of her disappointment into striving to accomplish more and work harder than ever.
Well, it's clearly paid off. Congrats, Princess.
