Story: At WrestleMania XXVII, Trish Stratus made an in-ring comeback, teaming with both WWE regular John Morrison and 'Jersey Shore' star Snooki to face the trio of Michelle McCool, Layla and Dolph Ziggler. The match reeked of filler, positioned between the highly-anticipated match pitting The Undertaker against Triple H and the John Cena vs. The Miz main event.

Apparently, Melina - a full-time member of the touring WWE roster - was left extremely unhappy by the fact that she wasn't part of the bout. Feeling her spot had been taken by both Stratus and the reality TV star, Snooki, Melina vented her frustrations to her boyfriend, who just happened to be John Morrison.

Naturally taking his lover's side, Morrison mouthed off about how unfair it was that Stratus was involved, because she wasn't a full-time worker anymore. Is it any coincidence that Morrison elected to leave the company later in 2011, after being so vocal about management's decision to include the likes of Trish and Snooki?

Why People Believe It: There's a decent chance that Morrison annoyed officials by being so verbal about the fact that Melina should be involved instead of the likes of Trish Stratus and Snooki, but there's nothing to suggest that WWE management weren't going to push him regardless. Right up until he departed, the man was featured on programming, and it was his own decision to walk away.

Should We Believe it: It seems a bit strong to say that John Morrison disliked Trish Stratus because she was "taking Melina's spot" on the 'Mania card, but there was likely a little bit of awkward friction there. More to the point, Melina would have been the one most irritated, Morrison was still featured on the show.
