“Oh my God. That is the most insane rumor because at the time that was when I broke up with my ex. And because John [Cena] lives in Tampa, I lived in Tampa. Apparently he was seen out at a bar or something, so people just assumed, ‘Oh Carmella lives in Tampa. She must have been at that same bar.’ It was so insane. I don’t know how you did it for so long. Where do they come up with this sh*t?” Carmella revealed.

The wrestler suggests that the rumors are purely coincidental. Thus, she believes that these talks only began because of Cena and her being in the same place. The Women’s Champion was firm about her answers on the podcast. Carmella, too, is now married to Corey Graves, who is a WWE commentator.

Accusations about being a homewrecker

Additionally, things were murky when Carmella began dating Graves, too. Rumor was that Graves was still married to his ex-wife at the time. Subsequently, Carmella was accused of being a home wrecker.

Carmella addressed this too, stating that she would never do something like this.

“Let me just say that I would never wreck someone’s home. That is not the life I’m about. Never in a million years would I do that. I don’t care how hot the guy or how in love I think I am, that absolutely did not happen. I did not wreck a home.”
