#4. Melina was released from WWE in 2011

Former Women's Champion Melina has made several appearances for WWE in recent years and seems to be on good terms with the company for the first time following her release almost a decade ago.

Melina was released from the company back in 2011 and then gained a lot of backstage heat when it was revealed that the former Divas Champion had continued to attend shows with her boyfriend John Morrison.

WrestlingInc even reported that Melina was actually barred from one WWE event because she had continued to hang out backstage at shows after her release.

“It would be one thing to come visit a few months down the line but to show up at the next shows after being released, it’s a complete lack of understanding and respect. It sucks you are fired but you don’t come see the boyfriend that dumped you the next day and you don’t go to the office to hang out after getting your pink slip. She did that and made eyes roll. There were some worried she was going to physically cause a problem and with John facilitating that by having her there, well, you saw what happened on Raw.”

Melina has since moved on to wrestle for several companies outside of WWE and is now being linked with a sensational return.
