It’s strange how Melina, Mickie, Alicia Fox and Michelle Mcool get looked over. Those women are all true legends who really took 5 mins a show and made it into gold every week

[@mikeparez]

They are unsung heroes. It like they ignored til AJ arrived

[@celebritylifestyleyanyan6048]

I feel like they get overlooked by WWE cause the fans in general always give those 4 they’re flowers , I feel like Maryse & Layla is the most overlooked

[@Tdottdot]

@@CDiddy404 besides rumble appearances i still feel like the amazing work she did gets downplayed. Her heel work was next level but people want to act like AJ Lee was the best thing since sliced bread.

[@KINGXPLAYBOY]

Melina is such an underrated legend and doesn't get the credit she deserves within WWE. That woman has had multiple iconic rivalries with Trish Stratus, Mickie James, Michelle McCool, and Beth Phoenix. Her coming back to WWE would be insane and so many fans want it.

[@jessiegreen619]

[@jakuczerw3876]

You're right

[@PhenomenalTeach11]

Her, Mickie James, Beth Phoenix and Michelle McCool carried the Women's division after Trish and Lita left. 2006 to 2011

[@_marvinjose]

they were like the 4 HW back then. I love seeing them on TV

I would mind her or list of other legends women to come back but I feel like the wwe writers wouldn't do them justice.

Aside from her iconic in-ring attires, Melina was serving heavy Y2K during her early smackdown era. A truly fashion icon!!!!

[@xlovedjx2722]

I love that Melina kept saying that it’s all about who can tell a story that makes them a great wrestler. There’s so many female superstars from the divas era that weren’t technically advanced but their storytelling was top notch and drew in a lot of young fans like myself. Women like Melina, Kelly Kelly, Alicia Fox, Maryse, Eve, Michelle, Layla, Beth, Nattie, they sold their stories even when given 2 minutes of screen time. All legends of you ask me.

[@FernandoMartinez-pv1id]

We have the opposite issue now. We have great Women's wrestlers with no good stories.

[@fabioben1159]

Don't forget Maria, her wrestling was mediocre (she was getting better before her release tho) but you can't stop cheering for her. Her charisma and storytelling was something that some women's of today (who can actually wrestle) lacks.

[@FernandoMartinez-pv1id]

@@fabioben1159 her sex appeal was also high.

[@Tdottdot]

Or women like Torrie Wilson who wasn’t the best technically but have iconic memorable stories

​@@fabioben1159Yeah Maria was the perfect babyface. She potrayed the ditzy character so well and made it adorable. She was loved by the wwe universe. ❤️❤️

[@vikingnation16]

Melina as a creative could breathe fresh air into the WWE women’s division. Imagine the storylines she’d come up with, and her desire to make everyone look good could really help make the ones that get left behind shine.

[@thethrowbackkidd]

From DAY ONE, I became a Melina fan. I knew she was gonna go on to have a legendary career & win championships. Just as I knew Trish did. Melina really gave it ALL & delivered so much. She needs a Hall of Fame introduction. ABSOLUTELY!

I agree that wrestling is art and Melina does a fabulous job explaining it. If she does want a more backstage role, I would hope she goes to AEW. Maybe she can convince Tony to give his awesome women's roster better booking and stories. Melina would make a great trainer and producer for any company.
