It appears that WWE is soon to add a former champion to its roster.

According to PWInsider, WWE has reportedly come to an agreement for Melina to return to the company. Not just that, but Melina is due to return to WWE TV within the next week!

At this stage, it’s yet to be revealed whether Melina will be turning up on Raw or SmackDown, but all signs point to an imminent WWE return for the three-time Women’s Champion and two-time Divas Champion.

Having first signed with WWE back in 2004, Melina’s initial stint with Vince McMahon’s sports entertainment juggernaut came to a halt in August 2011. While Melina has appeared for several independent promotions since then, most recently she’s been seen as a part of Billy Corgan’s National Wrestling Alliance.

The last time Melina was seen in a WWE ring was as part of the Raw Reunion show back in July 2019. Interestingly, WWE actually reached out to have Melina partake in the women’s 2020 Royal Rumble match – but her NWA deal prevented that from being possible.

If this PWI report does indeed prove to be true, we should be seeing Melina back on WWE programming ASAP.
