10 WWE Divas Who Benefited From Dating A Wrestler

3. Melina

Melina Score one for Batista. Melina certainly managed to ruffle her fair share of feathers during her 6-year stint in WWE, both amongst the fans- casual and smart- and backstage with her peers, due to her Jezebel bitch fits and adulterous relationship with Dave, cheating on her long-term boyfriend John Morrison. The pair met during auditions for Tough Enough 3 and whilst neither were signed, Morrision would be picked up on a training contract several months later, Melina being brought in shortly after to participate in a storyline where she played his spiteful ex-girlfriend. Melina was eventually signed to a permanent development deal and debuted with Morrison (then called Johnny Nitro) as part of the tag-team MNM in 2005, along with Joey Mercury. She would be split from Morrison in the 2007 WWE Draft when Morrison went to make his name in ECW and Melina was left on Raw to begin her first of 5 eventual Women's/Divas' championship reigns. She would be released from her contract in August of 2011. Interestingly, Morrison would choose not to renew his WWE contract 3 months later and also depart. The two remain an item to this date. All things considered, Melina has a lot to be thankful for, especially with regards to Morrison. Hired to be by his side, he later forgave her sexual indiscretions and conveniently left the company around the same time, the pair making a bucket load of money along the way.
