Carmella has told Nikki and Brie Bella that she's itching for a return to WWE TV sooner rather than later. Sadly, 'Mella has been suffering through some health issues as a result of her pregnancy.

The WWE star gave birth to a baby boy on 8 November 2023. Both she and husband Corey Graves obviously gushed with pride on social media at the time, but something else was going on: Carmella herniated discs in her back when pushing the baby out, and that "pushed on this nerve that is connected to [her] right foot".

As a result, 'Mella suffers from drop foot and has trouble lifting one of her feet off the ground properly. In her own words, she's been "literally limping around everywhere" at home. A WWE comeback certainly isn't out of the question though - it's a case of when, not if.

Carmella is keen to return and prove to herself that she can still wrestle at a top level post-pregnancy.

Stay tuned for more info on her injuries and possible return when it breaks. Fingers crossed Carmella is able to heal up and overcome her issues ASAP!
