Carmella took to Instagram today and posted the following photo of a pair of shiners she was sporting.

There’s no word yet on when Carmella suffered the black eyes, but the Halloween coffee mug could indicate that this is a recent photo. Carmella competed in the Six-Pack Challenge during Friday’s SmackDown that saw Nikki Cross become the new #1 contender to SmackDown Women’s Champion Bayley.

She captioned the photo and wrote, “No filter.. no makeup. I felt like this photo was very apropos after the first episode of @totaldivas. Also – I hate when people say ‘well, it’s not ballet!’ I was a dancer for over 20 years and that shit was hard. So don’t compare the two.”

Carmella’s caption mentioned the first episode of the new season of Total Divas. That episode focused on her behind-the-scenes and on-TV drama with Nia Jax, and fallout from her break-up with Big Cass. The episode also featured a Carmella vs. Jax match that started with Carmella kicking Jax in the face and busting her bottom lip.
