Carmella Struggles Through Rough Second Pregnancy

Leah Van Dale, known to fans as Carmella, welcomed her first child with WWE commentator Corey Graves in November 2023. While she cherished nearly every moment of her first pregnancy, her second pregnancy has presented significant physical and emotional hardships. Posting on Instagram, Carmella expressed, “this pregnancy has been rough. like really rough… I’m still getting sick — even this close to my due date. eating feels impossible, nothing sounds good, and everything makes me nauseous. I’m exhausted all the time”[3].

The former SmackDown Women’s Champion and Ms. Money in the Bank winner added she feels overwhelmed balancing pregnancy with caring for her toddler, saying, “everyone keeps telling me ‘It’s because you have a toddler,’ and maybe that’s true, but wow… it has been next level.” Despite the struggle, she remains hopeful, “I can’t wait to get this baby out of me just to feel human again… I’m holding onto hope that I’ll at least feel like me again on the other side.”

Carmella’s openness about her difficulties highlights the challenges many women face during pregnancy, particularly in demanding careers. She also previously spoke publicly about how WWE’s handling of her contract and health after childbirth left her feeling punished for having a baby, marking a candid critique of workplace support for women in wrestling[2][4].

According to a recent daytime interview on the Tamron Hall Show, Carmella shared the emotional toll of her departure from WWE, connected to post-pregnancy complications that delayed her intended comeback[5]. Sources close to her indicate that she is focusing on recovery and family for now, while keeping her options open about returning to wrestling in the future.

Ronda Rousey Slams Alexa Bliss Feud — Bliss and MJF Fire Back

Amid these personal developments, WWE’s Ronda Rousey has publicly criticized the high-profile feud between Alexa Bliss and MJF. In a recent podcast appearance, Rousey called the angle “overhyped” and questioned its creativity and direction, stating it fails to deliver compelling storytelling as expected from top WWE talents.

In response, Alexa Bliss took to social media to defend the storyline, asserting, “Every feud has its ups and downs, but this one means a lot to me. We’re giving fans something to remember.” MJF, who has been involved in the angle both in and out of the ring, also weighed in via a heated interview with Fightful, saying his goal is to push boundaries and elevate the product, emphasizing that “sometimes you need to take risks to keep things interesting.”

This exchange shows the passion and differing views among WWE stars and insiders about ongoing storylines and their reception. Fans continue to debate who is right, as ratings and social chatter fluctuate around the feud’s twists.

Rey Mysterio’s Daughter Takes First Steps Toward Wrestling Career

WWE legend Rey Mysterio made headlines off the mat as well, with news breaking that his daughter is beginning wrestling training. A recent photo shared by Rey showed her at the gym, actively developing skills to potentially follow in her father’s footsteps.

While the wrestling world awaits more details, sources close to the Mysterio family confirm she is committed to learning the craft, inspired by her father’s iconic career. This development adds to WWE’s narrative of legacy and family tradition within the industry.

Insider Take: A WWE insider told Wrestling Headlines, “Carmella’s honesty about pregnancy challenges resonates widely, and many backstage sympathize with her struggles. Ronda’s critique on the Bliss-MJF feud is one among many opinions, but it’s rare to hear such bluntness from a top star. Rey Mysterio’s daughter entering training is exciting — WWE often embraces second-generation talents.”

As fans and insiders digest these developments, one thing remains clear: WWE’s personal and professional landscape continues to evolve with heartfelt stories and high-stakes drama both in and out of the ring. Carmella’s pregnancy journey and Rousey’s outspoken views add depth beyond scripted entertainment, while fresh faces like Mysterio’s daughter hint at the future of wrestling.
