Absent Ex-WWE Champion’s Contract Expires

One former WWE champion is no longer under contract with the company as their deal has been allowed to expire.

Carmella has not wrestled since March 2023 as she and WWE announcer Corey Graves welcomed their first child together into the world in November of that same year.

Carmella developed a medical condition during the delivery of her son and as a result, is still no closer to making a return to the ring. The former WWE SmackDown Women’s Champion recently explained that she wanted to get back to WWE but her condition could take a very long time to heal.

Carmella No Longer Under WWE Deal

Now it looks like any comeback has another spanner in the works as Fightful Select has reported that Carmella’s WWE contract has now expired. This means she is no longer officially with the company and could be free to sign elsewhere if she wanted to.

The status of Carmella’s husband Corey Graves in WWE has been unsettled in recent weeks. Corey Graves was removed from TV after he hit out at the company on social media following his removal from the main roster commentary teams.

Carmella’s situation might be similar to that of Becky Lynch who allowed her WWE deal to expire in 2024 as she took a break from the business. Becky Lynch is believed to have re-signed with WWE and despite rumours of her return being linked to Raw’s Netflix debut, The Man is yet to come around again.
