10 Current WWE Superstars That Belong In Another Era
7. Carmella - Late-2000s WWE
Though by no means the worst wrestler on SmackDown Live!, Carmella hasn't particularly exhibited the necessary growth required to carry the brand's top prize even if her sure-to-be-memorable historic cash-in results in her stealing the gold away from the titleholder-du-jour.
She's an above-average performer in a time where only superlative ones can convincingly rule. Despite switching brands in 2017, both Charlotte and Alexa Bliss started and ended the year as champions because they have magnetic personas to match their dynamic in-ring prowess.
Had the 'Princess of Staten Island' been a big fish in WWE's minuscule pond following the departures of Trish Stratus and Lita in 2006, she'd almost certainly have found success. Anchored by Beth Phoenix, Natalya and LayCool, the league was persistently crying out for other genuine talent injections as the models filed in then checked out.
It's a testament to just how great the division is now that Carmella would have absolutely shone in those barren times. With a firm grasp on her character and a far tighter grip on the fundamentals than Kelly Kelly, Lena Yada, Cherry et al, Carmella could have been a bright light at the end of the darkest of Diva tunnels.
