Melina Reveals Conditions For Potential WWE Return

Melina made it clear she isn’t shutting the door on WWE — but she’s not blindly walking back in either.

After previously revealing that she chose not to re-sign with WWE in 2020 because she felt the company was “dangling a carrot” in front of her during an emotional period in her life, Melina is now taking a more measured approach when it comes to a potential return.

While speaking to Going Ringside in February 2026, Melina was asked directly whether she would say yes if WWE approached her today with a managerial role. She noted she would be open to it but would need to know what came with the contract.

“As a manager it would be a yay, but I’d need to know more. Honestly, it’s kind of like, okay, what comes with the contract?”

When asked about jumping back into the demanding WWE travel schedule, she acknowledged that things may be different now compared to her original run: “Well, it seems better now.”

Melina then reflected on the workload she carried during the Divas era, making it clear just how constant her schedule was at the time. She admitted that nonstop grind was the only lifestyle she knew back then.

“What happened with me was that I was a very integral part of diva wrestling, especially being the heel. I was always the bridge for everybody. I worked all year round, every weekend, every show. I was the main person, and nobody really realizes that I had to do all the work all the time, which is good. I like getting paid, but at the same time, the only times I ever had off were when I was injured or had surgery. That was the only life I knew — just working. But I don’t think that if I came back now, I’d have that same schedule.”

So while an in-ring comeback might not be on the table, Melina isn’t closing the door completely. If the right managerial opportunity came along — and the contract made sense — she’d consider stepping back into WWE in a new role.
