Following her announcement of her pregnancy in March 2023, Carmella took a hiatus and has been absent from the public eye for some time. Corey Graves and the Queen of Staten Island welcomed their son Dimitri Paul Polinsky in November 2023.
As the “Greatest Show of All Time” is right around the corner, the former SmackDown Women’s champion announced a possible return to the April event. WWE fans eagerly anticipate Carmella’s return for WrestleMania 40 at Lincoln Financial Field in Philadelphia and hope to see ‘The Crown Princess of Smackdown Live’ inside the ring.

Carmella’s last match saw her competing against then-Raw Women’s Champion Bianca Belair on the March 6, 2023 edition of Monday Night RAW. Later, she took a break from active competition due to her pregnancy. The 36-year-old star recently announced on her official Twitter account that she would attend the upcoming WrestleMania 40 event in April.

WWE fans react to Carmella’s WWE return announcement
The news about Carmella’s return has shaken WWE fans. The Queen of Staten Island was supposed to form a tag team with Chelsea Green, however, due to her problems, she took a break from television. The fans thought that they would have to wait a couple of months more before they would see Carmella in the squared circle again but the recent update from the said star has changed that.
A lot of fans have shared their thoughts following the announcement from Carmella’s Twitter account. One fan commented, “Yessss. My son is going to be so Happy. We are from Staten Island and my son always bring up that he wants to meet the Princess. We will be there Saturday. Are their VIP paid tickets we need to buy if you or someone who knows reads this let me know”.
