Carmella was once a very popular name in the WWE women’s division. However, for the past few years, she has been inactive in the wrestling business due to nurturing her motherhood. The Princess of Staten Island had a great run in WWE. During her tenure, she was once involved in a controversial backstage segment, which even led to a superstar getting fired.

The name in question is none other than Big Cass. The former WWE star was heavily over among the fans from 2016 to 2017. However, following the end of his partnership with Enzo Amore, Cass lost his momentum before getting released by the company. Very few may know this, but his exit from the company was a consequence of an alleged backstage segment with Carmella.

The two stars were dating back then and had a breakup in early 2018. However, Big Cass was seeking forgiveness from Mella backstage. But it led to an argument, and the female star walked away from the scene. However, Big Cass grabbed Carmella’s hand to stop her from getting away. This incident caused a scene backstage in the Stamford-based promotion, and The Usos, Eric Rowan, and others had to intervene to hold back the tall star.

Considering this incident, the then CEO of the company, Vince McMahon, decided to fire the 39-year-old star for his misbehavior with the former Women’s Champion. While neither Mella nor Cass has ever opened up about this incident publicly, reports from various media outlets like WrestlingNews.Co says that this alleged incident was the only reason why WWE decided to release Big Cass.

When Big Cass ended one of WWE’s most popular tag teams in a shocking fashion

Big Cass and Enzo Amore were a great tag team in WWE and they started to gain traction during 2016-17. Fans were expecting them to do some big things in the company. However, on an episode of RAW in June 2017, Amore was attacked backstage by a mysterious attacker. Fans were wondering who this assailant could be, only for it to be revealed as his own team partner.

On the June 19 episode of RAW, Corey Graves made a major revelation that shocked everyone in the WWE Universe. Big Cass and Enzo Amore were best friends, and no one expected them to turn on each other. But the former revealed that he was jealous of Enzo’s growing popularity. Cass added that both of them were doing an equal amount of hardships, but Amore was getting more spotlight.

Therefore, out of envy for his best friend, The Big Bambino attacked his tag team partner from behind to ruin his career. Fans were left surprised by his new character. The Stamford-based promotion capitalized on this hype by giving the two stars a singles showdown at The Great Balls of Fire 2017.

Moreover, that betrayal of Enzo Amore marked the turning point for Big Cass, something that changed his career completely. However, in the matter of a year, the 6-foot-10-inch star was released by the company that ended his run in the Stamford-based promotion.
