Video: WWE Star Carmella Shares 'Original Vision' For Untouchable Gimmick
While speaking on "Insight with Chris Van Vliet," WWE star Carmella discussed the original vision for her "Untouchable" gimmick that made a brief appearance in 2020. Last week, Carmella took to social media to respond to a fan who expressed they were disappointed the former "WWE Smackdown" Women's Champion didn't like the "Untouchable" gimmick, to which Carmella explained she was just not interested in portraying a new character.
"It's not that I didn't like it. I just didn't want a new character. And it didn't pan out the way it originally started so it felt like I wasn't doing the character justice. When I was told I needed a new direction I went all in and pitched this entire character. Going to find the original video I had made and post it here for ya'll."

The former Ms. Money in the Bank immediately received hate comments about her hair after posting the video due to wearing a wig for the new gimmick. She responded on X, explaining that she wasn't interested in dying her hair for the character.
"LOLLLLL you guys! This was in 2020. I was trying to show a new look before I actually committed! I didn't want to cut or dye my hair if they didn't like it."
