She’s backkkkkk! And from the looks of it, she hasn’t missed a beat! Melina made her return to Monday Night Raw just moments ago in a six Diva tag team match, teaming up with Candice and Mickie James to defeat Beth Phoenix, Jillian and Katie Lea.
Melina’s comeback was somewhat marred by a technical difficulty that spoiled her return. When Candice’s music hit, the titantron showed Melina’s entrance package which led to The King revealing that “Melina was meant to be a surprise.”
The A-List Diva’s return will certainly go down as a memorable one, bringing her A-game (no pun intended), showing off some very cool moves. I was utterly impressed. It’s good to have Melina back! What did you think? Sound off in the comments!

I just want Roucka on tv!
lol
and to Vassy im willing to apologize if you willing to accept? =]
Melina and Candice acting like friends after having that feud last year lowered Melina’s standards. Hopefully we get some explanation behind their “friendship”.
I ACCEPT, AND I APOLOGIZE TO MARCO AND YOURSELF, TOO. I WAS PRETTY OUT OF LINE IN MY EXCITEMENT ABOUT MELINA BEING BACK HAHA. :)
I say it lowered her standards because Melina’s gimmick was hating Playboy cover girls and did it at Mania too and now they’re friends?
yea rite when her and candice hugged i seriously twitched lol
and yea Vassy i like that idea but then again Beth as a face is wierd to me hehe
WWE DOESNT THINK FANS CAN THINK BACK THAT FAR. :P
Ok lets be cool now
lol
Im excited too
plus Roucka and hopefully gail?
damn!
Raws starting to get interesting and i cant wait!
yay!
DEPENDS HOW THEY MAKE BETH A FACE THOUGH, REALLY. I DIDN’T THINK MELINA WOULD HAVE BEEN ANY GOOD AS A FACE A FEW YEARS AGO, BUT I LOVED HER BEFORE SHE GOT INJURED SOO, HOPEFULLY THEY DONT MESS UP THIS STORYLINE!
They do that with pretty much all diva face turns
its funny seeing them be friends when they fueded awhile back
ive seen that with the divas alot
yea i mean that happened with Trish and Lita all the time hehe
I think melina will make a good face
i mean the girl can play a major bitch and that takes some good acting
hopefully she’ll do just as well as a face
but to me she seems to be over as a face as much as she was a heel
she’ll get cheered no matter what :)
Yeah!
one month Trish and Lita hated each other
then the next they were huggin and havin fun
lol
i wonder how Gail will debut…
Mike seriously? you say melina had a botched finish and that Candice’s return was better Candice botched her whole match when she came back Melina didn’t even botch the finisher she probably just wasn’t comfortable with her ankle but what can you expect from a Candice fan?lolz
yeah me 2
she has to have a big debut if u ask me!
they cant be like ok heres gail!
lol
I am so glad she’s back! They spoiled it by showing her video as you mentioned, and it was just as the TV cameras hit the tron. I was so excited when I saw it!
I also never thought I would see Melina hug Candice. It was a decent match. :)
If you guys look closely, the reason why melina botched her finisher was because katie’s arm was in the way. Katie’s arm should have been moved on her chest, but it was still wrapped around melina’s waist. Therefore, she couldn’t get inverted all the way.
Mike..so sad. Candice’s match had to be re done because she botched so bad. Melina didn’t botch anything except her split-leg drop but it was Katie’s fault. I didn’t see any botches in that flip powerbomb. You’re marking for Candice is laughable.
I am so happy that Melina is back! :D
Ok i think the match was fire. Melina brought some intensity to raw and im sure the raw redux will be a good one. The sunset flip powerbomb pin was just wow but im surprised the match didnt end right there. That kinda made the move look not so powerful. I wonder what she will name it. I just made it on svr 2009. Wow im really glad shes back and hopefully this is a new start for the raw divas division and is anyone else excited for the slammys? I was just saying a few months back that they should bring it back and here it is. Hopefully we get to vote and its legit. I loved this whole match even the botch lol melina had me hyped for the match. Poor Mickie didnt get tagged in but oh well. Ok sorry for the long comment but im excited!!!!!!!lol
oh and melina botch the finisher because katies arm was in the way.
oh and im back again jillian was indeed hilarious!!!!!!lmao!!!!!
dont know but i need time to accept melina as face…she is one of the best heels in wwe i think
Thanks for the apology Vassy.
I was thinking that if I was in the position that you were in I would get all mad like that 2.
BTW, I’ve never been gay never will be
100% straight
melinafan996: “Melina didn’t even botch the finisher she probably just wasn’t comfortable with her ankle”
If she’s still hurt then she should have stayed in FCW. The match was alright. The finished was kinda botched but i guess its normal (nerves and etc).
She looked hawt! Really pretty. And Jillian/Katie make me laugh. Overall i liked the match and the attires.
Roucka was there as well. New storyline?
Melina looked great & was Perfect Oh Mickie is not fat mickie is a THICK white woman what u what her 2 look like Kelly Kelly Michelle McCool or Maryse. & 4 Candice I don’t like her 1 bit so say whatever u like about her UGLY ass.
Actually when I saw Candice’s Entrance it wasn’t the only entrance first they showed Mickie then they showed Melina’s.
No Artie Melina didn’t look thick hun. But now that you think about it I love Mickie but you know she does look chunky because when you look at her from the side you can see it.
i was so HAPPY to see her return last night
also i was shocked to see that wwe planted rouka in the audience,im guessing shes gonna debut soon,in a storyline with beth phoenix,due to wat the sign said,who knows,it is WWE ,their no telling with them
Some of those moves she did though reminded me of MisChif
melinafan996, When Candice returned, she had a stroy to play upon and WWE did just that. They played up on the Candice/Beth feud from the year before. With Melina, it was just random return #3434.
Looks like Melina won’t be getting a push as she and Beth had no interaction or anything during the match. Kinda expected it anyways.
I’m glad Melina is back but her return was booked horribly. She did botch the finishing move, don’t deny it. It’s no biggie at all, but she did.
OMG…I hate to say it but It’s so humiliating the way u come out of ur shell only to badmouth other divas Mike…horrible, really…. Melina did botch her finisher why? WE DONT CARE , it happens !
Since u r a Candice just remember her comeback she botched a lot…come to think of it, i didn’t see any Candice and Beth fued interaction since their last 1 0n 1 at certain ppv…probably some radom other fueds to take care of ( beth vs kelly, Glamarella storyline, beth vs mickie, beth vs CANDICE, beth vs melina… i guess SHE have alot to do)
BTW Candice isn’t the centre of the Earth
Well said, Fatima! :D
Glad shes back, the return wasnt that great, there wasnt much interaction between her and Beth so the feud might not continue and she didnt come off as strong as she could because Katie Lea botched her moves and couldnt sell. She wasnt as good as she was before but thats expected, she will return better than ever.
Also good to see Jillian getting some offense! she came off strong against candice, i think jillian’s jobbing days are over now, Katie Lea’s turn – which she deserves. I really think it was katie lea’s fault not Melina’s for the finisher, she sorta dropped a bit early.
That’s happened to Melina before, At Backlash Michelle McCool dropped too early when Melina did her finisher, it happens.
LOVED seeing her again, I really got so happy. She pulled some awesome moves outta the bag, I was totally shocked. I just thought when she came back it’d be same old move set.
I loved the whole match! The sunset flip powerbomb…freakin awesome!
So what she “botched” her finisher?!? She is probably cautious about her heel, and I don’t blame her.
Hopefully the storylines begin to pick up and RAW gets exciting again, in the divas division anyway.
i do not like her new attire thing
her new finisher looks silly
knowing how flexible melina is i thought shes come back with a more better move
