Today we’ll be taking a look at Carmella’s possible new faction with two other returning
superstars, we’ll also talk about the big WWE-AEW Crossover show that was just announced
and Triple H’s comments about it
So let’s start things off with Carmella
Carmella reappeared this week on WWE Smackdown for the first time in forever
Before this week, Carmella wasn’t a part of the show since she feud with Sasha Banks
and since she fired Reginald
Carmella went missing for several weeks, which is normal in the women’s divisions, there’s
just so many women that WWE has sort of in this limbo state and Carmella seems to be
one of them
Carmella first reappeared backstage getting ready for her match with Bianca belair and
she had a brief interaction with Reginald, Nia Jax, and Shayna
Carmella did compete on Smackdown and lost to Bianca Belair, but the important thing
for Carmella seemed to happen earlier in the night when she was watching the Natalya vs
Shayna Baszler match
Carmella was shown watching the screen when she was suddenly approached by Billie Kay,
another superstar that has been missing for who knows how long
Billie Kay offers Carmella her headshot picture that has all of her career accomplishments
and abilities, but Carmella just waves her off
However, Carmella had an instant change of heart and decided to actually take the headshot
picture of Billie Kay and seemed to love what see saw before the camera faded to black
So it seems like WWE could be teasing Carmella and Billie Kay linking up in the near future
Which may be a great move for both women.
Carmella hasn’t really had much to do lately and Billie Kay is another highly entertaining
character that hasn’t had anything to do lately as well, so pairing them up may both
give them something to do
Carmella could probably treat Billie Kay as Reginald’s replacement and it’ll be entertaining
to see just how good of a job Billie Kay can do to keep up with Carmella’s demands
The reason why this was so interesting is because Carmella was just recently a guest
on WWE’s The Bump and she was asked about finding a new partner to go after the women’s
tag team titles with
Carmella didn’t give just one name, Carmella named two superstars that everyone wants to
see return and that’s Bayley and Billie Kay
Carmella had this to say in that interview:
“That’s a great question.
Well, I would love – there’s two choices that I’m, two people that I’m looking
for.
I’m thinking either Billie Kay or I’m thinking Bayley.”
“If you guys ever remember NXT, BayMella, Bayley and Carmella were the best of friends.
She is my best friend in and out of the ring, so that would be so much fun to be able to
tag with Bayley.
We would just have so much fun and destroy everybody in the meantime.”
“Billie Kay, I mean, c’mon, what can’t that girl do?
She makes everybody laugh, she’s so talented, she used to be a Tag Champ.
I mean, so did Bayley.
So, I think those are two great choices.
I know Bayley likes to drink wine, so that would definitely help.
I don’t know.
Either one!
Honestly, maybe we could be the first like, because the New Day, right, they were Tag
Champs with three of them.”
“I’m going to put that out into the universe; Bayley, Carmella, Billie Kay.
I’m trying to think of what our name would be.
BayKayMella?”
So that was Carmella’s comments on pairing up with a new partner
Carmella has a lot of history with Bayley in NXT and Carmella is up there as one of
Bayley’s best friends outside of the ring as well
We haven’t really seen them cross paths that much on the main roster, so a tag team
between the two of them would be something fresh and new to see
Carmella also mentioned Billie Kay and gave her some praise as well for being talented
and extremely entertaining
Carmella said she was speaking it into existence and just two days later, WWE teases something
between Carmella and Billie Kay, so it is quite interesting
Bayley is still a possibility because WWE is doing absolutely nothing with her right
now, so teaming up with Carmella and Billie Kay definitely beats doing nothing at all,
so having Bayley could work too
But the timing just really worked out there, Carmella says she wants to work with Billie
and she gets her wish just two days later
Could something be starting up there between Carmella and Billie or was it just a pointless
backstage moment?
That’s what we’ll have to see
But what are your thoughts on Carmella idea about forming a faction with Billie Kay and
Bayley, would it be a hit for WWE?
——————
Some big unexpected news came out this week and that’s the fact that AEW’s Chris Jericho
will be the next guest for WWE Network’s ‘Broken Skull Sessions’ podcast with Stone
Cold Steve Austin
The reason this was so jaw dropping and unbelievable is because WWE has never had an active AEW
wrestler on any of their network programming like this
Chris Jericho has even said in the past that it’s very difficult for him to get WWE superstars
on his podcast because WWE really doesn’t give them permission to go on his show
So everyone assumed it’s the same way the other way around, WWE wouldn’t want to have
AEW stars on their podcasts either, but that apparently isn’t true
This podcast with Stone Cold Steve Austin will technically be our first small WWE and
AEW crossover sort of show
It’s easily going to be one of the most intriguing episodes because everyone wants
to know what Jericho is going to say
Will he talk about AEW, will he talk about leaving WWE, and everything that happened
there?
This will definitely be up there as one of the highest viewed editions of the Stone Cold
Steve Austin podcast
WWE even dropped a teaser trailer for the episode that featured Stone Cold and Jericho
sitting at the table with Jericho’s old countdown noise playing in the background
So everyone wanted to know how did this WWE and AEW collaboration come to be, well Stone
Cold Steve Austin and Triple H have both commented on what happened
Steve Austin had this to say when speaking with Sports Illustrated:
“I was having a beer one night after my Broken Skull Sessions interview with The Undertaker
aired, and out of the blue, Chris Jericho reached out and said, ‘Man, that was a great
interview.’
“I sent him back a couple of those emojis, one of a beer mug and the other of an eagle,
and then he called me right then and there.
We got to talking.
I’ve always respected his career, and I’m glad they’re around—it gives the guys
and girls in professional wrestling more places to work.
I said, ‘I’d love to have you on the show.’
And he said he’d love to do it, so I checked with Vince [McMahon] about it.”
“I texted Vince and said we had this idea about Jericho coming on the show.
Vince goes, ‘It’s cool.
Go ahead.’
But me and Vince don’t always do well with phones and texts and all that, so I texted
one more time, ‘Are you sure it’s O.K. to have Chris Jericho on the show?’
Vince gave me the thumbs up, and Chris came out to do the show.”
So seeing Chris Jericho, an AEW talent on a WWE network show, just had everyone talking
and wondering if this is just the beginning of more WWE and AEW crossovers
Triple H had a press conference just hours after the Chris Jericho announcement and he
gave his reaction and explained if this means anything between WWE and AEW
He had this to say:
"I’m not necessarily sure how that correlates but, look, we’re open for business.
Open for business, what’s best for business for the WWE, and open to working with whoever
that is."
Triple H has been giving that same sort of answer for several months now when asked about
WWE working with other companies
But Chris Jericho coming over to the Stone Cold Steve Austin podcast is a good business
move and it’s gonna have a lot of people’s attention
Fans that usually don’t watch the podcasts are most likely to tune into this one episode
because it’s just so interesting and intriguing
