#3 Melina and John Morrison (MNM)

WWE created MNM while Melina, John Morrison, and Joey Mercury were in Ohio Valley Wrestling. With Melina as their manager, Morrison and Mercury had a two-month stint with the OVW Southern Tag Team titles. Success came immediately for the faction on the main roster.

They were called up soon after WrestleMania 21, and won the Tag Team titles in their first outing, against Rey Mysterio and Eddie Guerrero. The pair won the Tag Team titles on three occasions during their run as a team.

At WWE Judgment Day 2006, MNM lost the Tag Team titles to Paul London and Brian Kendrick, minutes after which Mercury and Morrison kicked off a brawl, thus marking the group's end. Melina and Morrison were soon moved to WWE RAW, while Mercury was sent back to OVW for a wellness policy violation.

Melina went on to become a mainstay in the Women's division and won the Women's title on three occasions. She was in an off-screen relationship with Morrison since 2003, with the duo calling it quits in 2015.

He completed his MBA from the Symbiosis Institute of Telecom Management in 2016 and worked with multiple banking institutions, including Tech Mahindra. While he started writing WWE articles for Sportskeeda in 2019 as a hobby, it eventually became a significant part of his professional journey.

Abhilash checks his articles thrice before sending them to the editing team, ensuring his work is highly accurate and reliable.

He has interviewed prominent pro wrestling personalities like Noam Dar, Angry Miz Girl, Brendan Cobbina, and Jesse Lambert. Abhilash is a big fan of AEW star Orange Cassidy, as he believes the former International Champion’s on-screen gimmick of an extremely lazy guy resonates with him.

Given the opportunity to script WWE’s next big storyline, Abhilash would treat fans to the second installment of The Bloodline Civil War. He would book Roman Reigns to re-form The Bloodline with The Usos and Sami Zayn upon his comeback. The angle would see The Tribal Chief-led group go head-to-head with The Rock, Solo Sikoa, Tama Tonga, and Jacob Fatu in a blockbuster family feud.

When not reporting on pro wrestling, Abhilash likes to work out, go on walks, read, and explore new eateries.
