Wrestling star Carmella was booed at Elimination Chamber amid the Corey Graves affair allegations after his estranged wife posted birthday messages the WWE star sent to her daughter.

The Sun reports Amy Polinsky made headlines yesterday after accusing her husband, real name Matthew Polinsky, of “sleeping with” the SmackDown Live star.

Graves on Monday angrily rejected his wife’s claims that he is having an affair.

Amy Polinsky posted a damning Instagram post to slam the 34-year-old to make the shocking allegation.

The since-deleted post claimed the ex-wrestler had been “sleeping with” the former Women’s champ.

Polinsky wrote: “This may be totally below me to do but I’m hurt. I’m sad.

“I’ve put 11 years into supporting a man to accomplish his dream only for him to punch me in the gut!”

She continued by highlighting further alleged problems during the relationship before adding: “The kicker is finding out that he’s been sleeping with one of my daughters’ role models all along.

“Carmella and Corey Graves I hope you guys are happy. I really do!”

Polinsky shared a photo of her family along with the caption.

She then shared a brief clip on her Instagram page in which the WWE star wishes Graves’ daughter a happy ninth birthday under the caption: “Good chat.”

Carmella later appeared during the first ever women’s tag team championship at Elimination Chamber but faced chants of Corey Graves throughout her match.

Fans watching the action were quick to pick up on the embarrassing moment for WWE, with one tweeting: “The Corey Graves chants are NOT being muted.”

Another added: Naomi and Carmella being a tag team. THIS IS THE WORST TIMING EVER... those chants.”

The night then got worse for Carmella as her team became the first to be eliminated on the night, with many fans speculating the stories to have played a factor.

Graves continued his role as commentator throughout the WWE pay-per-view but neither he nor his co-workers made any direct comments about the allegations.

Carmella has not commented on the allegations, but Graves suggested the claims were false and hit back at the accusations before they were removed.

Sasha Banks and Bayley went on to become the first ever women’s tag team champions by last eliminating Mandy Rose and Sonya Deville.

Elsewhere on the card, Finn Balor won the Intercontinental Championship, and The Usos became six-time tag team champions after defeating The Miz and Shane McMahon.

Daniel Bryan also successfully retained the WWE Championship in a chamber match while Ronda Rousey made light work of Ruby Riott in her title defence.

Graves is a former NXT Tag-team Champion but was forced to retire from the ring due to injury in 2014.

He is also a professional piercer and is well-known for his love of tattoos, with his body covered in ink work.

Graves and Polinsky married in 2009 have three children together — two girls and one boy.

The commentator will be ringside to call the match action from the Elimination Chamber pay-per-view.

Carmella is hoping to make history at the event when she pairs up with Naomi to try and become the inaugural WWE Women’s Tag-Team Champions.
