Here’s what Melina had written in her Facebook post while addressing the report:
While Melina denied signing a WWE contract, she didn’t rule out the possibility of returning the WWE.
Dave Meltzer gave his thoughts on the Melina situation in the Wrestling Observer Newsletter.
Meltzer noted that people backstage in the WWE - who should ideally know about the story - were clueless about Melina’s return. However, as Johnson reported it, Meltzer also added that the odds of the story being true are high, and many people in the company who were in the dark about the return also might have figured that it’s legitimate. Mike Johnson, after all, has an exemplary track record.
Meltzer highlighted the fact that Melina’s denial did indicate something happening behind the scenes.

Possible truth about Melina’s reported WWE return
Meltzer then speculated on a few potential scenarios that could be in play when it comes to Melina’s reported WWE return.
There is a possibility that an idea might have been pitched to her, but the deal wasn’t made just yet with Vince McMahon’s company. There have been many instances wherein talents have shot down reports of their return only to make a comeback weeks or months later. The idea behind their denial has always been to keep the information a secret and to maintain the element of surprise.
Meltzer, however, did explain a problem with such a move:
Melina last appeared on WWE TV on the RAW Reunion show in 2019, and the 41-year-old Superstar wrestled her last match in February for New York Wrestling Connection (NYWC).
Her last WWE match happened in 2011, and if she does return to the WWE, it would be her first full-time contract with the company in nine years.
