History Wrestling / Carmella

* CatchPhrase: "Bada bing, hottest chick in the ring". (Adapted, of course, from Enzo's "Bada boom! Realest guys in the room!")

* {{Brownface}}: Her tan became much more obvious when she adopted the Carmella character.

* InsultBackfire: When Wrestling/CharlotteFlair called her "a Diva[[note]]By the time the promo including these words took place (August 2018), it was two years since WWE had stopped using this word to refer to its women's division due to the negative 'sexiness over talent' implications of it.[[/note]] living in a Women's Era", she replied that yes, she was a Diva, "and damn proud of it", and told both Charlotte and Wrestling/BeckyLynch (who was also there because the promo was about a Triple Threat title match involving all of them), that neither of them was as hot as her... and neither of them was the champion, she was.

* SmallNameBigEgo: All her victories are due to interference. Without James Ellsworth's help, she wouldn't be the first ever Miss Money In the Bank (twice). Following Ellsworth's suspension, she rarely won any of her matches and it was only until Charlotte was attacked by the debuting Iconic Duo she cashed in and become [=SmackDown=] Women's Champion. Following Ellsworth's return to her side, she kept boasting that she is the dominant women in the division by defeating the likes of Charlotte and Asuka twice despite it was Ellsworth without help despite Ellsworth's interference.

* BreakupBreakout: By June 2018, she's the only one out of Enzo and Cass still employed by WWE.

* BerserkButton: She ''really'' didn't like Enzo and Big Cass throwing around sexist comments--she retaliated by picking up a medicine ball and throwing it at Enzo's stomach.

-> ''"My name is Carmella, and I am the princess of Staten Island, and the most fabulous Diva in N-X-T!"''

* AmazonianBeauty: Not in the usual sense of being big, as she's quite slender. But she is very toned and has great abs. See ClarkKentOutfit below.

Leah Van Dale (born October 23, 1987) is an American {{professional wrestl|ing}}er former cheerleader and dancer, currently signed with Wrestling/{{WWE}} under the ring name Carmella. Debuting for Wrestling/{{WWENXT}} in late 2014, she appeared in a segment where she portrayed a hairdresser for [[Wrestling/EnzoAndCass Enzo Amore and Colin "Big Cass" Cassady]]. The pair's shenanigans cost Carmella her job at the hair salon and she begrudingly accepted an offer to be the team's valet, while also competing in the ring. Once Wrestling/EnzoAndCass were called to the main roster in 2016, Carmella remained in NXT in order to strengthen her in-ring skills, but was called up to the main roster four months later. In 2017, she became the inaugural female Wrestling/MoneyInTheBank winner. Twice. She finally cashed in on the ''[[Wrestling/WWESmackDown SmackDown]]'' after ''Wrestling/WrestleMania 34'' against champion [[Wrestling/CharlotteFlair Charlotte]] who had just been mugged by a debuting Billie Kay and Peyton Royce to become [[http://www.wrestling-titles.com/wwe/wwe-sd-wm.html SmackDown Women's Champion]] for the first time.

* DoubleStandardAbuseFemaleOnMale: Ever since her manager, James Ellsworth made one too many mistakes while interfering in Carmella's matches, she let loose on him with a brutal dressing down before firing him. Ellsworth later begged her to give him another chance, which she relented. After that, Carmella would bring Ellsworth out to the ring on a leash and tie him to the ring post, while also treating him like a dog, such as making him bark and feeding him dog food. No way in hell would this fly if the genders were reversed.
