When the topic of her obvious WWE return got here up, Melina determined to set the report straight. She confirmed there have been talks with WWE, however a knee damage prevented her from signing.
“It was talks of [a return]. Talks of seeing if it was possible and all that stuff. Everyone made such a big deal out of it. I was in talks with [WWE], but I never signed a contract, there was nothing going on. Just ‘hey would you consider, would you be open?’. I’m like ‘hell yeah’. Well it turned out I have like a bad knee, and I can’t wrestle.”

Melina additionally downplayed the concept that the knee damage was the solely factor conserving WWE from signing her to a new deal last year. She made it recognized that even when she was utterly wholesome, the firm nonetheless may not have signed her.
