10 Wrestler Introductions You Don't Remember
3. Carmella - Hairdresser
While the world of professional wrestling is filled with over-the-top characters, many wrestler's debuts for NXT are fairly straightforward. Often the newest addition to the roster is simply presented as the next wrestler trying to prove themselves and earn a spot alongside the best in WWE.
That was far from the case for Carmella, whose first appearances made her seem like the furthest thing from the next star of the black and gold brand. Leading up to NXT Takeover: Fatal 4 Way, Enzo Amore was scheduled to take part in a Hair vs. Hair match against Sylvester Lefort. This prompted Enzo and tag partner Colin Cassidy to visit a hair salon where they linked up with a hairdresser named Carmella. She gave the tag team a hand in gathering a concoction that could easily remove someone's hair.
While Enzo won the match and kept his hair, Carmella re-emerged the following week, telling the duo she had lost her job at the salon due to their antics. 'Mella then forced Enzo and Cass to give her a tryout in front of General Manager William Regal, looking to start her wrestling career.
In the following weeks, Carmella secured a contract with the brand, bringing together one of the most popular trios in the history of NXT.
