Carmella may be done with WWE—for now—but she’s not staying quiet when it comes to defending her husband, Corey Graves.

In her recent interview with New York Post Sports, the former SmackDown Women’s Champion addressed Graves’ recent tweet controversy, where he vented his frustration about being moved to NXT commentary. The tweets were quickly deleted, but they stirred plenty of drama online. Carmella, however, made it clear she’s fully behind him.

“I am so supportive of my husband,” she said. “I feel like he’s such an incredible talent. He has so much passion and so much love for this business, and I will always have his back. I feel like he deserves everything.”

She didn’t stop there, throwing some serious praise his way. “I mean—and I’m as most wives feel about their husbands—but I just feel like he deserves nothing but the best. He is incredible at what he does. He’s one of, if not the best, commentator WWE has—maybe other than Michael Cole.” She added, “And he’s just incredible, and I support him no matter what.”
