"Still not true" – 5-time champion has not signed a WWE Legends deal

Several former WWE wrestlers have signed a Legends deal with the company in 2024, including Hornswoggle, Jacqueline, Ken Shamrock, and Victoria. Melina, a WWE star between 2004 and 2011, recently addressed whether she could become the latest legend to sign a contract.

Melina won the Women's Championship three times and the Divas Championship twice. The 45-year-old entered the 2022 Women's Royal Rumble match and made cameo appearances on RAW in 2019 and 2021.

In an interview with MuscleManMalcolm, Melina dismissed speculation she has signed a Legends deal:

"That's why you don't believe everything that's on the internet unless you hear it from somebody's mouth. So many, still to this day, a lot of rumors always going around about me. Still not true." [10:44 – 10:57]

Melina also gave her thoughts on possibly wrestling for WWE again, 13 years on from her last full-time run with the company.

Melina shares reservations about WWE Legends deal

As part of the contract, WWE pays former wrestlers to use their image and name on merchandise. Some legends also make appearances on behalf of the company in an ambassadorial role.

While Melina is not against the idea of a Legends deal, she would not want an agreement to stop her from participating in outside projects:

"It just all depends on what they take away from your life. Of course, there'll be more money and this and this and that, but it's not about the money for me. It's about going and being able to be free to do what I want with all this, I don't know, what I was blessed with in wrestling." [11:04 – 11:25]

Armando Estrada and Mick Foley are among the other wrestlers who have signed Legends deals in recent months.
