Leah Van Dale (born October 23, 1987) is an American professional wrestler former cheerleader and dancer, currently signed with WWE under the ring name Carmella. Debuting for WWE NXT in late 2014, she appeared in a segment where she portrayed a hairdresser for Enzo Amore and Colin "Big Cass" Cassady. The pair's shenanigans cost Carmella her job at the hair salon and she begrudingly accepted an offer to be the team's valet, while also competing in the ring. Once Enzo and Cass were called to the main roster in 2016, Carmella remained in NXT in order to strengthen her in-ring skills, but was called up to the main roster four months later. In 2017, she became the inaugural female Money in the Bank winner. Twice. She finally cashed in on the SmackDown after WrestleMania 34 against champion Charlotte who had just been mugged by a debuting Billie Kay and Peyton Royce to become SmackDown Women's Champion for the first time. | |

| Carmella (Wrestling) / int_1235f055 | comment |
Dirty Coward: A typical heel trait though Carmella is such a big coward that she tends to run out of the ring before an attack hits her or screams loudly. | |

Picked Last: Part of her early storylines in SmackDown revolved around her having to prove herself after having been the last pick in the 2016 WWE Draft. (She still had it better than Heath Slater, who went undrafted.) | |

The Rival: An as-of-yet-unnamed girl that is simply known as "Blue Pants" (Leva Bates, from SHIMMER). What had been an introductory match with what was supposed to be a Jobber ended up becoming a short series that actually saw Carmella come off worse. The program was eventually dropped after Blue Pants got a surprise win over her, thanks to Enzo's accidental interference. | |

Heterosexual Life-Partners: With Bayley. Their friendship didn't even waver when Carmella became the top contender to Bayley's title, and they remained best buddies after Bayley beat Carmella. While their careers went separate paths on the main roster, they never became enemies even after Carmella turned heel on the main roster; in fact the two would team up occasionally later on following Bayley's heel turn. | |

| Carmella (Wrestling) / int_1fb4d915 | comment |
The Stool Pigeon: Actually played this role during her feud with Nikki Bella. Nikki was attacked back stage and (understandably) spent the whole time thinking that Carmella did it. Despite her want to continue her beef with Nikki even after losing a No-DQ match, for no real reason other than apparently For The Lulz, she sold out Nikki's real attacker: Natalya. Natalya, annoyed that Carmella just broke down all the work Nattie put into trying to convince Nikki that it wasn't her, promptly gave Carmella the title of "Little Staten Island Snitch." | |

| Carmella (Wrestling) / int_23698fa8 | comment |
Aborted Arc: Enzo making sexist comments to her, only for her to get annoyed, looked like it was setting her up to eventually go out on her own. But this was dropped and she was quietly turned face to become part of their act permanently. Enzo and Cass's beef with Blake and Murphy never got much of a payoff - aside from a 6-person tag match. So the rivalry between Carmella and Alexa was never resolved, Alexa still holding all the victories. | |

Small Name, Big Ego | |
| Carmella (Wrestling) / int_28a5213a | comment |
Small Name, Big Ego: All her victories are due to interference. Without James Ellsworth's help, she wouldn't be the first ever Miss Money In the Bank (twice). Following Ellsworth's suspension, she rarely won any of her matches and it was only until Charlotte was attacked by the debuting Iconic Duo she cashed in and become SmackDown Women's Champion. Following Ellsworth's return to her side, she kept boasting that she is the dominant women in the division by defeating the likes of Charlotte and Asuka twice without help despite Ellsworth's interference. | |

| Carmella (Wrestling) / int_50b05d30 | comment |
Disproportionate Retribution: Carmella saw SummerSlam 2016 as her big homecoming, as it was in the Barclays Center in Brooklyn. So when Nikki Bella made her return from a career-threatening neck injury to a raucous crowd reaction and pinned her in the six-women tag team match they were in that night, she felt upstaged. Reasonable enough, but her way of getting back? She has outright stated that her goal is to permanently end Nikki Bella's wrestling career. | |

Jerkass Has a Point | |
| Carmella (Wrestling) / int_6b05b601 | comment |
Jerkass Has a Point: Enzo and Cass criticized her for accepting presents from their rivals, Blake and Murphy. Carmella's response was to point out that Blake and Murphy were treating her better than Enzo and Cass were. Given that Enzo frequently refused to stop hitting on her even when she clearly told him she wasn't interested, she wasn't wrong. When Nikki Bella accuses Carmella of attacking her at Survivor Series 2016 before their match against Raw's women due to their recently rivalry, she blatantly denies it and later accuses Natalya - the "coach" for their team who decided to take Nikki's place after she was declared unfit to wrestle that night - who would eventually confess. Carmella would later say during the accusations that if she was the one who attacked Nikki, she'd have happily bragged about it. | |

Token Evil Teammate: To Enzo and Cass, originally. They're friendly and endearing to fans and other faces even in their arrogance, while she was dismissive towards everyone except maybe Cass, got jeered for it on NXT, and played the heel role. With Enzo and Cass beginning to be pushed as serious contenders, she changed, becoming more fan friendly and showing support for both of them. | |

Not Me This Time | |
| Carmella (Wrestling) / int_95b875b1 | comment |
Not Me This Time: After Nikki Bella, her then-archenemy, was attacked backstage by a mysterious assailant right before the women's Survivor Series match, Carmella had been the prime suspect. However, after being defeated in a no disqualification match, she immediately pegged Natalya as the one responsible. And she was right. | |

Female Fighter, Male Handler: During a time, Carmella had James Ellsworth as her handler, being the one who helped her in fights, being the Gender-Inverted Example of what women do as companions or managers of male wrestlers. | |

Unwitting Instigator of Doom: Enzo and Cass called in a favor from her at her salon during their rivalry with the Legionnaires. The resulting fallout from her involvement ended with her in an NXT ring, the Legionnaires breaking up, and Marcus Louis losing both his hair and his mind. | |

Took a Level in Badass | |
| Carmella (Wrestling) / int_9bcd82c0 | comment |
Took a Level in Badass: Began as just a valet who only occasionally wrestled. She buckled down, trained hard and earned a shot at the NXT Women's Championship. What's also notable is the first time she faced Nia Jax - which was pretty much a Squash Match. Months later they were in a #1 contenders' match together - and Carmella came close to beating Nia several times. This was ratcheted up to eleven on the main roster, where she was able to dominate Nikki Bella for most of their first match together. | |

Odd Friendship | |
| Carmella (Wrestling) / int_a94eaaa4 | comment |
Odd Friendship: With Bayley given that Carmella had been shown to be Good is Not Nice and only softened towards Enzo and Cass due to common enemies. But Bayley being an All-Loving Hero brought out Carmella's softer side, and their friendship endured even when the latter won a title match against her. Also, her friendship with R-Truth, who is a significantly older black man whose personality tends toward the... well, eccentric. | |

Double Standard: Abuse, Female on Male | |
| Carmella (Wrestling) / int_c0e3994b | comment |
Double Standard: Abuse, Female on Male: Ever since her manager, James Ellsworth made one too many mistakes while interfering in Carmella's matches, she let loose on him with a brutal dressing down before firing him. Ellsworth later begged her to give him another chance, which she relented. After that, Carmella would bring Ellsworth out to the ring on a leash and tie him to the ring post, while also treating him like a dog, such as making him bark, feeding him dog food and hitting him. No way in hell would this fly if the genders were reversed. | |
