WWE has initiated the process of adding Superstars to the list for the Money in the Bank ladder matches for both men and women. The way to decide who goes on the list is by putting Superstars in the ring together in various matches. However, Carmella had to do nothing to secure her spot in the Women’s Money in the Bank ladder match 2021.

On WWE SmackDown: June 25th, 2021, Sonya Deville came out to the arena and announced that WWE has added Carmella to the Women’s ladder match. She didn’t have to wrestle anybody for this spot.

Deville reminded the WWE Universe that she has previously won two such ladder matches. This gives her enough credibility to be a part of the match.
