**SPOILERS** - Melina & WWE Creative Plans Inside

Partial Source: The Wrestling Observer Newsletter

**MAJOR SPOILER ALERT BELOW - YOU'VE BEEN WARNED!!**

Melina made her return to WWE programming during Monday's television taping in San Antonio, Texas. She performed a run-in following a Six-Diva Tag Match pitting Alicia Fox, Jillian and Tamina against Eve, Gail Kim and Natalya, attacking the Divas Champion. Her return will be televised during next Monday's episode of RAW.

It was her first appearance inside a WWE ring since she underwent surgery for a torn ACL suffered last December. She spent the past few weeks at the company's developmental facility in Tampa, Florida training for her return.

WWE creative brass initially planned on inserting Melina into the ongoing John Morrison vs. Ted DiBiase program as means to feature mixed tag matches, but said plans were nixed last week. Instead, she will going after Fox's Divas Championship. A three-way feud between Melina, Fox and Eve is tentatively planned, though Maryse may be put in the mix.

Meanwhile, Maryse and DiBiase's "power couple" placement is an offshoot of plans initially tapped for the French beauty and The Miz last year. Plans were changed when Maryse took a hiatus to recover from knee surgery and Miz got over well enough with the audience that she was no longer needed by his side. Maryse was ultimately placed with DiBiase in an effort to get him over.

FUCK.
THE.
WWE.

I want a Melina/Alicia fued I dont want Eve fueding with Alicia because she is boring. I hope Maryse dosent fued with Melina/Eve/Alicia because it will be Melina vs Maryse again and I dont want that to happen. Maryse is doing fine in her role as manager, if WWE dont have any storylines for Eve why dont they send her to SD? I hope we get an Melina/Alicia fued, Melina wins the title and then fueds with Gail who turns heel.

Didn't read it all as I don't want to be spoiled with all the details but are they really stupid enough to keep Eve in the title scene as well? Why are they so high on this fugly creature

The same reason why they want Melina to bury Alicia

If Melina was going to bury Alicia it would've happened already. They're gonna keep the belt on Alicia awhile longer and no, that's not the definition of burying someone

They are sponsored by the Kentucky Derby? Is that the reason?

An Alicia/Melina feud would be so much better but they seriously have to ruin it by keeping Eve there. Not surprised by the booking on Raw anyway

I too believe their shouldn't be any cruelty to animals by having two women wrestle a horse...but i have to sit through it as well.

If Alicia is made out to be the weaker person in the angle, guess what that is! Anyone who knows how the writers work, know a burial is about to happen

I actually hope Alicia doesn't look weak. She finally got the title and she should get some wins over Melina and Eve before she drops it

Eve still remaining relevant, I love it!

I would love to see her face off with Melina!

oh god. one match i pray i never see

I don't want to see that match either actually. Keep Eve off my tv screen

Keep both off mine

Shes baaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaack!!!! WOOHOOOOOOOOOO!

Oh damn, I'm too early. Gotta save that for next week. AHHHHHHH

I'll be sure to turn off my tv when she comes back

ohhhh wait don't own one...Lucky me

I'll be sure to scream loudly so the whole world can hear. I'm sure she's gonna look great too

Why can't it be Melina, Alicia, and Gail. Why Eve? Why? Why Eve?

They're high on her for some reason Keri. I don't understand it at all. Poor Gail

I agree with Keri, It should be Melina v Alicia v Gail. I want Jillian thrown in the mix too. I hope she will be, since Alicia took her out Monday.

piss off Melina, we don't need you on Raw. save the Smackdown face side from the mess it's become

i agree with this guy

Gail has 0 title runs in her current WWE run and yet Melina is about to get her 4th title win, I believe...sad sad day in WWE.

3 time women's champ, soon to be 2 time divas champ. Melina rocks!

Because their fued was so great last time. What was it? Melina watching a tv backstage and a staredown, leading to a botchy lumberjill match where Melina squashed Alicia in 1 minute? After next week's raw, looks like another lumberjill match is approaching too.

Yeah the first Alicia/Melina feud was trash. There's not really a feud on RAW I'd like to see with the current group, unless Melina or someone turns heel.

I never said their last feud was much better but if the booking was better this time and let them feud for a couple months it'd be a good feud but now Eve has ruined that by being involved.

I don't have faith in Raw's booking abilities anymore lol. Next week we wil get a random tag match with Melina winning, or something like that.

I think another diva involved adds diversity, and allows more focus/development to be on the title (a three way feud could be interesting).

That's probably true but they could've at least used Gail instead of Eve since she's miles better than her.

I've basically given up on the booking as well but I'm still excited that Melina's back

I'm only excited because Melina is their top diva now that Mickie is gone, and they are bound to at least give some focus to the division now.

Pretty much true, I'm being biased but Raw hasn't been the same without Melina. The division should pick up a bit now that she's back

Your right, Raw hasn't been the same, we got to see some fresh matches in Maryse vs. Eve, Alicial vs. Eve, Maryse vs. Alicia vs. Gail vs. Eve, some matches involving women we've never seen work together or work at all. But with melina back, that hag down alll down the shitter. Now it's Melina against the next person she burries until she injures herself again.

I really wish they trade Melina for Tiffany an Tamina for Serena. Put all the shit i don't care about on SD while those who i do on Raw.

I wouldnt call Melina v Alicia last year a feud at all. I call it filler till Maryse got back.

If Melina v Alicia got to last longer, Im sure it be a lot better.

You know what, i'm seriously fucking tired of this Maryse BS.

FACT Maryse is out of the Division and busy managing.

FACT Maryse has wrestled like 3 matches since managing Ted and she played Filler for all.

FACT Melina will return and Get the championship at the next PPV.

FACT Maryse's Focus now and probably the next 4/5 months is being Ted's Candy Cane he carries around.

This whole Maryse BS is getting real old really fast. RIght now Jillian has a better chance of getting a push then Maryse because they found what they want Maryse has to focus on and what she has to do.

Sorry. I was just stating the Alicia-Melina feud could have been longer, it wasnt a stab at Maryse at all. I wanted a Melina-Alicia feud back then.

Im personally sick of people putting Melina down, but Im not on their butts about it.

Ohhhhh oopsy i thought you were refering to now..



SOWWYY!!!!!!

I feel so stupid now

I wonder how Gail feels about this. lol

"eh im still getting paid for now" it prolly one of them

If anything, the division has sucked without Melina. We got to see bitches with no talent like Eve and Maryse take over the division when we could've seen some good matches so yes, Raw has not been the same without Melina and the matches will definitely start to improve now.

What they really should've done with Melina out is push Gail as the top face and Alicia as the top heel, they should've been the ones feuding, not Eve and Maryse. The division would've been so much better

Well tbh, Melina isn't that Talented....according to my statistics...she's the 42th best wrestler in Wrestling today...

Well, that is your opinion, but I think she's in the top 5. I just wish the booking was better because like I said, with her out they could've had Gail and Alicia feuding but instead we got Eve and Maryse
