Why Carmella’s Dance At Survivor Series Is Special To Her

After eliminating Tamina in the 5-on-5 Women’s Traditional Survivor Series Elimination Match, Carmella celebrated with a dance break — as she’s known to do.

But “The Princess of Staten Island”‘s dance had a special significance in this case. It was in that very same building — the STAPLES Center — that Carmella showed off her dance skills several years ago.

During the 2010-11 NBA season, Carmella was a member of the Los Angeles Lakers dance team, the Laker Girls. Following Survivor Series, she reminisced about those days.

Tonight was extra special for me. I got to wrestle at @STAPLESCenter. I used to perform here on the regular in my Laker Girl days… it was awesome to be back and dance again… #DanceBreak 😉 #SurviorSeries pic.twitter.com/10XC3vzoDd
