Melina Defends Those Who Held The WWE Diva’s Title: “Each woman who held that title did their best, gave it their all”

Melina defends the Diva’s era of WWE.

Melina was one of the prominent names in the Divas Era. She held the WWE Divas Championship twice, and she is also a former three-time Women’s Champion. Speaking on MCW Backstage Pass, the Divas Era came up in the conversation, and Melina noted that it unfairly gets lumped in with the WWE Diva Search. 

“It’s a weird thing because diva gets tied up with the model search, and that’s not it. That’s the hard part where the term ‘diva’ is thought of as model days, and it wasn’t even that. Well, kind of. But regardless, each woman who held that title did their best, gave it their all. Maybe blame the divas search, but you can’t blame them for getting an opportunity. It’s like like Tough Enough. You can’t blame the people who did Tough Enough, and that’s what the Divas Search was,” 

Fellow 2000’s WWE alumni Maria Kanellis recently stated that she still considers herself a Diva, and she’d like to see the Butterfly Title return.
