Back in the day, WWE was wild. The Ruthless Aggression Era followed the highly successful ‘The Attitude Era’. To compete, WWE worked in segments that is a big “no-no” in the PG Era.

The Ruthless Aggression Era ran from 2002 to 2008, and in 2006 Lita & Edge worked an in-ring segment which was highly erotic in nature. It came right after Edge cashed-in on his Money in the Bank contract. He defeated John Cena at New Year’s Revolution.

Of course, such a segment will not be allowed in the current PG Era, but if it was then Corey Graves and Carmella are up for it.

While speaking to Bleacher Report, both of them agreed that they do not have an issue in involving their relationship in WWE storylines. In fact, if the opportunity comes up, they are ready to recreate a similar Lita-Edge segment.

Corey Graves and Carmella will have to wait quite a bit for an opportunity of similar nature. However, Graves admitted involving real-life couples in storylines have been successful in the past. Hence, they wouldn’t back away from one which involves them, even if it’s something within the PG Era realm.
