It's been a while since fans have seen Carmella as she last appeared on WWE programming in 2023. The former SmackDown Women's Champion went on hiatus from WWE due to her real life pregnancy. She welcomed her son into the world in November of 2023, and fans have been wondering when Carmella might return.

While talking about her status during an Instagram live stream with Bayley, Carmella noted that she is hopeful she will be able to return to WWE at some point, but she's currently dealing with nerve damage in her foot.

"I love being a mom. It's the best thing I've ever done ever, in my whole entire life. That being said, of course I miss WWE. Of course, I miss everyone. I miss being Carmella. I miss performing. I miss it so much. I wish I had an update for you guys. For those that don't know I have some nerve damage in my foot from delivering Dimitri.

I have what's called drop foot. It's this nerve behind your knee. It sucks. I wrestled for ten to twelve years, never had an injury, knock on wood, and now I'm doing physical therapy, going to the chiropractor, getting MRIs, and doing all this stuff that I never thought I would be doing, but here we are. Hopefully, eventually, nerves do take a lot of time to heal, but eventually, we'll get back to it."
