6 female WWE superstars who wrestled under their real names

#4. Former WWE Women's Champion Melina

Melina entered WWE through OVW and formed a stable with John Morrison and Joey Mercury. In her early years, Melina was seen as an on-screen manager and rarely wrestled as part of the Women's Division.

This changed after MNM split and Melina went after the Women's Championship. The former star captured the championship on three occasions. She also won the Divas Championship twice.

Despite being known by her full name early in her career, Melina's name was shortened when she became a legitimate competitor.

Mickie James and Melina ruled the WWE Women's Division after Trish Stratus and Lita's retirement. They were a huge part of the Women's Revolution that came several years later.

Melina was released from WWE in 2011 but made several appearances for the company in the years that followed.
