According to a report, Carmella is currently injured, which could explain why she's not seen much in-ring action of late. Fans have started to notice that Queen Zelina is doing most of the heavly lifting as a member of the Women's Tag Team Championship duo and that's because Carmella is dealing with an nagging injury, according Mike Johnson of PWInsider.com.
The report does not provide details as to what the injury is and whether or not Carmella can take any bumps or is just limited, but the idea seems to be not to mention the injury on WWE programming and hope that Carmella recovers quickly enough from the setback that she's not missing any major time. The last thing WWE wants is to have the WWE Women's Tag Team Championships change hands because of the injury.
Rhea Ripley and Nikki A.S.H likely had their best shot at the champs this past week on Raw, but troubles are brewing between the two and an expected singles run is probably on the docket for Ripley. That storyline seemed to overshadow the fact that Carmella never tagged into that tag team contest. So too, an injury starts to make sense when you factor in how little Carmella has been in the ring during matches or how long those matches have actually been. PWInsider also reports that Carmella did not work the Holiday Tour last month.

Kind Of A Pickle For WWE
There aren't a lot of other female tag teams that one would consider legitimate threats for the titles if this injury to Carmella is anything serious. WWE needs The Most Beautiful Woman in WWE to be active and the hope is that she's not sidelined long.
It's wise that WWE protect Carmella from further hurting herself, but realistically, how much longer can these two stay tag champs if one half of the team isn't able to get physical and trying to work through an injury without wrestling.
