10 Times Wrestlers Were Embarrassed On Live TV (That You Totally Forgot About)
2. Melina Eats A Slap From Linda McMahon
Anyone who endured the rollercoaster ride that was Monday Night Raw post-2016 Brand Split will have become accustomed to Stephanie McMahon's remarkable ability to make just about every star on the roster look like a spineless goof.
Ridiculing men and women alike on a nightly basis may have become a mainstay on the red brand during this time, but this was hardly a fresh development. Stephanie had been making the talent WWE were attempting to forge into stars seem like pushovers for years, but on one fateful occasion back in September 2007, Stephanie actually managed to resist the urge to embarrass a wrestler... her mother did it instead.
With Melina boasting to William Regal about what herself and Vinnie Mac had been up to during a meeting between the pair a few months back, a returning Steph threatened to deck the former MNM member there and then. She resisted, however, and a brassed off Linda did the honours instead.
It's hard to decide on what's worse about this awkward hit-and-run; the visual of a former Women's Champion once again being humbled by a McMahon. Or the limp execution of said slap to the chops.
Take your pick.
