Believe it or not, once Melina Perez was handed her pink slip by WWE back in 2011, the former WWE women’s champion continued to wrestle on the independent scene. She successfully captured the MCW Women's Championship back in 2016.
Perez has been in the professional wrestling business since 2001 and though she returned to the ring on June 11 2018 after suffering a devastating injury that sidelined her for about a year, the 39-year-old has confirmed that she’s done with professional wrestling:
"You got me thinking but, I'm not coming back to wrestling guys," Melina said during a Periscope session. "No, stop making me think about this stuff, I don't want to [return]. I've got happier stuff, you know? I accept that my time has come and gone, I'm secure with that. I'm cool with that."
During the session, Melina was also asked numerous times about her possible involvement in WWE's upcoming all-female Evolution pay-per-view. She didn't reply to any requests to comment on WWE's October 28th event in Uniondale, New York.
