2. Melina And Batista Had A Relationship While Melina Was With John Morrison
The Legend: That Batista and Melina had a very open relationship in 2005 whilst Melina was dating John Morrison. The Evidence: Melina appeared on the Ross Report podcast with Jim Ross in early March 2015 where she addressed the rumours of a relationship with Batista. She categorically denied the rumours and claimed that it was those rumours that, in part, led to her breaking up with Morrison. It's interesting that Melina denied the rumours because pretty much everyone else, including Batista, has confirmed them. He wrote in his autobiography that although they started as friends, their relationship became 'physical'. Batista elaborated in an interview with the Charleston-Post Courier in 2007:
He was always aware of what was going on, and she was very honest with him. They split up and moved apart, and we started dating each other. She still considers him her best friend in the world. But he always knew exactly what was going on.
Apparently the fact that Morrison openly allowed Melina to engage in a sexual relationship with Batista got him some heat backstage and rumour has it that even Vince McMahon looked down on him for it. Is It True: Melina may claim otherwise, but she and Batista had a relationship. Batista is a known ladies man and there are enough former wrestlers backing up the story for verification.
