Enzo and Big Cass might be killing it on the main roster, but for now, NXT is Carmella’s rightful place.

As wrenching as it was to read Cass’ facial expression when Triple H announced on the June 8th edition of Breaking Ground that his girlfriend, Carmella, wouldn’t be joining he and Enzo on the main roster, it was perfectly understandable.

Carmella has improved leaps and bounds between the ropes, but she still doesn’t feel entirely comfortable in her “Princess of Staten Island” gimmick, and above all else, she needs to learn how to slow down in the ring. There are just too many moonwalks and how-you-doin’s in her matches and she rarely takes time-out to space out her moves, much to her detriment.
