05/22/06 Internet News
Several days ago we noted that Johnny Nitro of MNM had been receiving heat backstage. Those backstage felt that he had grown distant with everyone in the SmackDown! lockerroom since dating Melina. He was always seen with her, and she was even taken to the wrestler's court where the Undertaker was the judge before a recent SmackDown! taping. Joey Mercury had actually been trying to distance himself from the duo so that he didn't receive the same 'heat treatment' from his peers.

Melina was also involved in a backstage fight with Sharmell several weeks ago where JBL came in to break things up. She had also had a previous relationship with Batista.

The early indication is that the angle that was shot at Judgment Day last night where both Melina and Nitro were 'fired' is more of a real life suspension for the two. Melina also lost a quick match to Jillian Hall at the PPV. WWE officials are not happy with their current attitudes as of late.

It doesn't pay to make enemies in the locker room and there is no word on when or if the duo will be brought back.

05/25/06 Internet News
The reason behind the storyline of Johnny Nitro and Melina being "fired" from the SmackDown brand at the Judgment Day PPV this past Sunday had mostly, if not all to do with the recent tension between Nitro and Joey Mercury.

Although details are a bit sketchy, the two were not seeing eye-to-eye lately and a decision was made within WWE management to split the team. There was also heavy criticism towards Melina as some within the WWE locker room felt she was acting immature due to the way she has carried herself backstage since being brought up to the SmackDown roster. Melina was often described as being quiet and standoffish to other wrestlers, which some took as having a big ego.

As reported earlier, the plan is to shift both Nitro and Melina over to the RAW brand very soon. Where this leaves Joey Mercury remains to be seen, although some feel he will be attached to the new ECW brand given his former ties to the company when he was known then as Joey Matthews. On a side note, reports stating that an argument between Sharmell and Melina took place and that suspensions by WWE for both would follow were false and not true at all. We will continue to follow this situation as it develops. WrestlingWire.net PWtorch.com

06/09/06 Internet News - More On Melina's Problems In WWE
As most of you are already aware, MNM split up because Melina had developed an enormous, Roseanne Barr-sized ego. Melina felt as though that the entire Smackdown brand was about her and it was driving some people nuts. People in Ohio Valley Wrestling have noted that she is a totally different person.

Also, Nitro had a bit of heat because he never leaves her side, and that caused problems with the boys because he stopped socializing with everyone. The heat was so bad that their jobs were actually on the line at Judgment Day a few weeks ago. However, they came through on their performances and the decision was made to simply send them to Raw.

12/15/06 Internet News - Melina Upset Over Crowd Chants
WWE muted the crowd audio at times during last week's ECW PPV. Apparently, the audience was chanting a bunch of things that one would expect from an ECW crowd, including several TNA chants. The decision to move the PPV to Georgia from either NYC or Chicago was made because management was looking to avoid that type of audience. Melina in particular was rather upset due to the crowd chanting "she's got herpies" and other various vulgar chants towards her. Melina is used to the much more timid WWE audiences and thus the raucous ECW crowd probably came as a shock to her. Rajah.com
