10 Kayfabe Wrestling Moments That Became Real
7. Melina And Batista Flirt On TV... Then Have A Fling In Real Life
It wasn't uncommon for WWE "Divas" to seduce their male counterparts back in 2005. So, MNM manager Melina waltzed into Batista's locker room, put her hands on 'The Animal' (careful) and basically promised him sex. In storyline, she was trying to take big Dave's eye off the ball (CAREFUL!) before an upcoming Tag Title bout.
When it didn't work, Melina began alleging that Batista had sexually harassed her. That's not the bit that transferred into real life though; Batista later admitted in his book that he and Melina had a very-real intimate relationship that he kept secret from his then-wife and her lover John Morrison.
Their kayfabe fling had happened away from the cameras too.
It's unclear how long their hidden romance went on. Later, Melina and JoMo were definitely an item again, and ladies man Batista moved on to other things. Presumably, their affair was as short-lived as WWE's storyline feud between MNM, Dave and Rey Mysterio.
