Melina has suffered quite a few injuries over the course of her career, including an ACL tear.
Speaking on a recent edition of “Wrestling Shoot Interviews,” the former three-time WWE Women’s Champion and two-time WWE Divas Champion looked back on the worst injuries of her career.
You can check out some highlights from the podcast below:
On her ACL tear: “It was off of something really small. It was during one of the live events for Raw, and I was doing my comeback in a tag match, and it was just one little pivot. So I hit a clothesline, and I think maybe I hit two, maybe just one. But it’s that one pivot, and I think my toe stuck, and it snapped during a turn, just a pivot… It’s like you feel all of the little strings in your tendons just… As soon as I felt that, I just knew, ‘Oh.’ And all of a sudden, I couldn’t take a step and just crumbled.”
On the worst injury of her career: “My broken ankle shattered in three pieces, so I think that hurt more than the ACL… I think I tore my MCL when I was in the U.K., and there was a flight back… Some guy was getting his luggage on the airplane, and he dropped his bag on my knee. And I was like, ‘Why would you do that?’”
