Her contract with the Stamford-based promotion ended in February, with the company deciding not to renew it.<\/p>\n<p>In a new interview on the <em>Tamron Hall Show,<\/em> Carmella discussed in detail the dreaded call she received from WWE. The 37-year-old star said the following:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;In that call, they said my contract was up in about 13 days and that they would not be renewing it. That&#8217;s it, yeah. And they didn&#8217;t give me a reason&#8230; obviously I&#8217;m assuming it&#8217;s because I&#8217;m not&#8230; at the time, I was so dumbfounded, I had no idea what to even say. I was just in a shock. And then later, they put me in touch with legal.
