No matter how intense the professional rivalry is, compassion always prevails. There are great examples of superstars who are rivals on the field but off-court they have a super tight bond, like tennis legends Rafael Nadal and Roger Federer. Whatever the friction, they always limited it to on-court but after the game, they were the best of pals.
The same holds true for other sports personalities as well. As in the case of Brazilian AEW star Tey Melo who passed her good wishes to her fellow WWE competitor Carmella on completing 20 weeks of pregnancy.

Carmella whose real name is Leah Van Dale has been with the WWE since 2013. In her 10-year noteworthy career, she won many titles making her one of the top women wrestlers of the past decade.
She is a former SmackDown Women’s Champion, Women’s Tag Team Champion, and WWE 24/7 Champion. She was also the winner of the inaugural women’s Money in the Bank ladder match in 2017. Her last appearance was on RAW in March post which she took a break due to her pregnancy.
Carmella just posted a picture of herself giving her fans an update on her pregnancy and health. She wrote, “20 weeks today! I can’t believe I’m already half way through this pregnancy.. it’s been flying by 😭😭 Baby boy has been SOO active lately! Rolling around and kicking all the time.”
One person who was swift to comment was fellow competitor and AEW star Tey Melo. She complimented her kindly saying, “Omg half way already ❤️❤️❤️ this little boy is making you look even more beautiful.”
