10 Wrestlers Who Became Backstage Outcasts In WWE

Melina's heat was generated at a time when social media was in its infancy, therefore a considerable portion of the information around it remains anecdotal and conjecture. It is true however that her apparently unprofessional attitude resulted in Lita, taking on the role of locker room leader, kicking Melina out to change in her choice of any quiet corner of the arena.

Melina had further heat with Lita's in-ring rival and real-life bestie Trish Stratus, proliferating claims that the beloved performer stole her spot on the WrestleMania 27 card. This also led to Melina's boyfriend at the time John Morrison, who was working the match, further disrespecting Stratus. Oddly, Melina didn't go after Snookie who was also featured in the 3:16 bout.

But the most infamous cause of her backstage heat was her relationship with Batista. Many speculated that the two cheated on their respective partners, with Melina coming out the worse following the accusations. This, combined with her already shaky relationship with the women's locker room, had lasting implications for Melina's time at WWE. To this day Melina rarely gets the credit she deserves.
