On this day in history:
November 11th, 2005 | To settle an apparent beef with Tyra Banks, Melina brought former America’s Next Top Model contestant and wrestler-in-training Michelle Deighton to SmackDown. Instead of extending the olive branch, though, Melina decided to take the opportunity to insult Michelle, earning a slap across the face. Melina then pounced on her in retaliation while Nitro and Mercury watched on. Before things could get too messy, though, the Mexicools arrived to give Michelle some back-up and lay out MNM. It wouldn’t be the last time Michelle was on a WWE program (she competed in the latest season of Tough Enough), but it was the closest she found herself to prime time.
What are your memories of this moment? Tell us in the comments!

Haha love this. I hated MNM and still dislike those garbage douchebags but this segment was funny as hell with Melina taking constant shots lol
2005 was an awesome year o Smackdown because we had tag teams and cruiser weights also Eddie Batista Kennedy and undertaker were kicking ass! Not forgetting our divas Christy Melina Jillian and Stacey!
Btw I saw tough enough some years back but wasn’t this the same Michelle? She sucked big time lol

I always thought Smackdown owned raw when it came to wrestling. Chris Benoit Kurt angle Eddie Guerrero Brock Lesnar Paul hey man the cruiser weights and tag teams…
Raw idk it was more talk then wrestling haha only thing I loved from raw were the divas Trish Vctoria and the gang :)

Wow i’ve never seen this, I guess cause this is around the time I started watching wrestling, but I saw MNM’s debut so idk how I missed this. But yea I remember liking Melina’s outfits back then but seeing them now she looked a hot mess. And michelle is just not pretty at all

OMG, I remember watching this live as a 10 year old thinking Michelle was this huge supermodel, because I didn’t know what ANTM was back then.
Oh, and I never realised until now that this Michelle is the Tough Enough Michelle.
