Zelina Vega is currently a member of Rey Mysterio's Latino World Order (LWO) faction on WWE RAW. In a recent interview, Melina opened up about possibly returning and forming a tag team with Vega.

Between 2004 and 2011, Melina was among the most featured women on WWE programming. The 45-year-old won the Women's Championship three times and the Divas Championship twice during her first run with the company.

Speaking to MuscleManMalcolm, Melina said she is willing to return but does not expect the company to contact her. She also spoke about the fact that tag titles did not exist for women when she wrestled in WWE:

"I wish I could be a part of a tag team," Melina stated. "I wish I was younger. I wish this was all happening when I was younger because I would love to go after some tag team titles." [13:03 – 13:17]

Zelina Vega previously held the Women's Tag Team Championship with Carmella. She also won the Queen's Crown tournament as a singles competitor in 2021.


How Melina feels about new WWE women's titles

Women's World Champion Liv Morgan and WWE Women's Champion Nia Jax hold the company's top two women's titles right now. Bianca Belair and Jade Cargill are the Women's Tag Team Champions, while Candice LeRae is the Women's Speed Champion.

Many fans have expressed a desire for WWE to introduce another secondary women's title, such as female versions of the Intercontinental and United States Championships. However, Melina believes there are already enough main roster titles these days:

"Oh my goodness, if there wasn't so many titles, I would love that. It's just the hard thing where it was like this one title back in the day for both rosters, and there was a moment in time where both fought for it, and that meant more. Now there's just so many titles, it just seems like, oh, I'm getting mints out of a little dish tray, candy tray. It's like, 'Anybody can get one. Here, after you.'" [11:47 – 12:18]

In the same interview, Melina addressed whether she is interested in joining Ken Shamrock, Mick Foley, and several others in signing a Legends contract.
