As we reported earlier today, the A-List Diva Melina made her in-ring return last night at an FCW show. After a long drawnout bidding war with the likes of People and Us Weekly, we managed to snag the first look at Melina’s return… hurrah! In fact we paid even more than Brangelina got paid for their baby pics…
Okay not really, but that is just an example of what a great character Melina is – we can come up with all sorts of material for her! Our partner forum had these candids up, which we thought we’d share with you. Melina looks great, I’m so looking forward to her television return. As I was saying, Melina has such a great character and not since Trish Stratus has a Diva been so marketable. Her whole ‘A-List Diva’ gimmick means they can do so much for her return. I picture ‘returning soon’ promos on Raw, but to tie in with her gimmick instead of saying ‘returning soon’, they could call it a ‘comeback’. And you know how at the end of those promos you have like ‘John Cena returning soon’, I would love to see a Hollywood Walk of Fame star with Melina’s name on it.
My mind has been wondering all day, just shows how excited I am! However, I am sort of worried. With Melina’s return from injury and Gail Kim set to make a comeback of her own, I think one of the Divas will end up drawing the short straw. I imagine their TV returns will happen quite near to each other (maybe weeks, maybe a month) but I don’t see both Divas getting a big push upon their returns. And I can almost guarantee that there’s no way both will be brought in to Raw – which, let’s face it, is where they deserve to be.
I do hope Melina comes back as a face and is able to restart her feud with Beth, but I could also see WWE wiping the slate clean and having her come back as a heel. If she does come back as a heel, I’d love to see a more amped up gimmick – showing more ‘Hollywood attitude’, maybe bringing up one of the guys from FCW to be her bodyguard or something. Anyhoo, enough of me…
