Carmella’s new character is reminiscent of several female wrestlers who have been more about how they look than what they bring in the ring. However, she has shown in the past that she can hold her own in the ring. This already placing her ahead of the many that have employed this gimmick before.

From the looks of it, it seems that the WWE intend to position her as the top heel in the blue brand. It will be interesting to see where her character goes from here.
