Carmella sat at home watching her old tag partner Zelina Vega show back up on the "season premiere" episode of SmackDown to become Legado del Fantasma's new leader. It could be a while yet before 'Mella is making her own impact felt again on WWE TV.

She's currently out recovering from an injury suffered during her three-way bout with Asuka and Bianca Belair on a 6 August house show. The heel hasn't been on programming since, although she has had a mention or two from hubby Corey Graves on commentary.

That's about it though, and there's no word yet on exactly when Carmella will be back in the ring. WWE officials took zero risks with her following the house show concussion, and there doesn't appear to be a lofty spot for her on either Raw or SmackDown right now even when she is fighting fit.

It's anyone's guess when "Mella Is Money" will be heard on shows again.
