Pros:

1. Consistently good in pre-taped promos

2. Great chemistry with Cass and Enzo

3. Really good at hair flips and high-stepping

Cons:

1. Some fans have not warmed up to her as part of the Enzo/Cass dynamic

2. Not ready for showcase singles matches

3. Definitely not in the league of NXT's top Divas

If Enzo and Big Cass are Itchy and Scratchy, Carmella is Poochie the Rockin' Dog. She's a third wheel to a beloved partnership that no one asked for, and fans have responded lukewarmly at best. It's not that Carmella is terrible. She's an okay wrestler and she plays her Staten Island Princess gimmick well, but the fact remains that since her debut, most Cass/Enzo segments, once a weekly highlight, have become devoted to trying to get over their hanger-on. 

Undoubtedly, her best showings to date have been in the sorely-missed "Cass Cam" segments, in which she would continually verbally and physically humiliate Enzo with Cass filming on his phone. She's squashed Blue Pants a few times and had some very clumsy matches with Alexa Bliss, but her wrestling still needs work. Carmella definitely has potential, and she may yet become an integral part of the show, but as of yet she hasn't really had a breakout performance.

Final rating: **1/4
