Posted on by Ethan Renner

WWE’s Carmella and Corey Graves were married Thursday in a ceremony in Florida. 

A slew of wrestling personalities were in attendance for the event, posting photos from the festivities on social media. 

Carmella (Leah Van Dale), 34, and Graves (Matthew Polinsky), 38, announced their engagement last October. The two began dating in 2019. 

AEW’s Jon Moxley, Renee Paquette, WWE’s Natalya, TJ Wilson, Tamina, Bayley, Liv Morgan, Sonya Deville, Happy Corbin, and referee Jason Ayers are among the wrestling notables pictured in photos from the event. 

Carmella and Graves’ relationship has been incorporated into recent WWE storylines, tying into the release of their Corey & Carmella YouTube series. The two also host the Bare With Us podcast.

Graves has been with WWE since signing a developmental deal in 2011. Graves and Adrian Neville held the NXT Tag Team titles in 2013. He transitioned to a commentary role in 2014 after being medically disqualified from in-ring work, although he has since been cleared for an in-ring return, though he says that one is not imminent. He also briefly held the WWE 24/7 title in 2021.

Carmella signed with WWE in 2013. After a run in NXT, she was called up to the SmackDown brand in 2016. She has since held the Money in the Bank briefcase, the SmackDown Women’s Championship, WWE Women’s Tag Team Championship, won Season 2 of WWE Mixed Match Challenge, and has held the 24/7 Championship twice.

Ahead of the series’ premiere, WWE has released a trailer for “Corey & Carmella.”

The reality show is set to make its debut on WWE’s YouTube channel on Monday, February 28. It will consist of 10 four-minute episodes.

On their Bare With Us podcast last week, Corey Graves and Carmella said that the reality show is in conjunction with WWE and Glass Entertainment Group. It’s something Graves and Carmella have been working on for two years.

Graves and Carmella said they believe the entire series will be uploaded on February 28.

“WWE has been unbelievable about helping us maintain our authenticity as much as we can,” Graves said. “It’s called ‘Corey & Carmella,’ but for those of you that listen to this, you’re going to recognize a lot more Matt and Leah than what you see on Raw or SmackDown or anything WWE.”

Graves (real name Matthew Polinsky) and Carmella (Leah Van Dale) announced their engagement last October. Graves works as a color commentator for Raw, while Carmella is part of the Raw roster and currently holds the WWE Women’s Tag Team titles with Zelina Vega.

A reality show starring WWE couple Corey Graves and Carmella is coming to YouTube later this month.

“Corey & Carmella” will debut on WWE’s YouTube channel on Monday, February 28. Graves and Carmella made the announcement on the latest episode of their Bare With Us podcast.

Graves said on Bare With Us that the project is in conjunction with WWE and Glass Entertainment Group. The couple was first contacted by Glass Entertainment Group and they then took the idea to WWE. Graves and Carmella shot a pilot episode, which has been chopped up into 10 four-minute episodes. Graves and Carmella said they believe they entire series will be dropped onto WWE’s YouTube channel at once, but that’s subject to change.

Graves and Carmella noted that they’ve been working on the project for two years.

“WWE has been unbelievable about helping us maintain our authenticity as much as we can,” Graves said. “It’s called ‘Corey & Carmella,’ but for those of you that listen to this, you’re going to recognize a lot more Matt and Leah than what you see on Raw or SmackDown or anything WWE.”

Carmella said the couple’s podcast is thread throughout the series.

Graves said the project is still in its infancy and there’s a lot of room for growth — it’s launching on WWE’s YouTube channel, and who knows what happens from there.

Graves (Matthew Polinsky) and Carmella (Leah Van Dale) announced their engagement in October of last year. Graves works as a color commentator for Raw, while Carmella is a member of the Raw roster. Carmella & Zelina Vega are the current WWE Women’s Tag Team Champions.
