Melina Discusses Match with Zelina Vega, Having Nothing Else to Prove

Published

on

Former WWE superstar Melina took to Periscope recently to do a little question and answer session with fans regarding a number topics, including her future in the ring.

Melina discussed a potential match with current WWE superstar Zelina Vega, who is currently managing Andrade ‘Cien’ Almas.

“That would be awesome” Melina said of the potential match. “It would be like the saddest thing because she’s like my little sister, so, I would feel so guilty. I know even before WWE people were trying [to set that match up].

It would be weird because she’s like my little sister.”

“Hypothetically, if we were to have a match she would be able to get one over on me because that’s my little sister, I don’t want to fight with her. But, when you’re young, you’ve got something to prove, you’re hungry, you’re like ‘you know what? I’ve been living in your shadow’. It’s like a sister scenario. ‘I’ve been living in your shadow long enough so I need to prove something.’”

Melina also discussed having nothing else to prove in the ring, and another run in WWE.

“I’ve heard so many people say, ‘you’re old, you’re this’. It’s like, yeah, granted I may not move the way I used to, I may not be able to do some of the stuff I’ve done” Melina explained.

“Seriously, the way my mind works it’s like I’m not going to be as hard-hitting because my mind thinks: ‘what’s the point? I already proved what I needed to prove, what’s the point?’

“But, when pushed to a certain point, being the person who’s experienced so much stuff I’m more methodical, I think things through more than a person who reacts on emotion.

Oh, I will find a way, I will find a way to win. It doesn’t have to be me doing flippy-dos and putting myself in danger.

“I’ll find a way because I’ve seen it all, people have taken what I’ve done, they put their spin on it. I see different ways of using my moves, of doing all that stuff. It’s like, ‘okay, you’ve taught me a little something, now I’m gonna put my spin on it and it’s gonna be so much better.’ Like, I think of all these scenarios, you know?”

“You got me thinking but, I’m not coming back to wrestling guys” Melina said. “No, stop making me think about this stuff, I don’t want to, 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.”

Adam Cole Discusses Troubling Injury Recovery

Published

on

AEW superstar Adam Cole has opened up about what he calls a “scary” recovery from a second concussion that he suffered at AEW and NJPW’s ‘Forbidden Door’ event back in June 2022, with Cole set to make his return to the ring soon.

Cole specifically talked about memory loss as the most troubling aspect of his recovery:

”The memory stuff is the really, really scary part to me” Cole said, during an appearance on Wrestling Observer Radio (h/t CagesideSeats). “When you’re in the middle of a ring and there’s thousands of people around you and I have no idea what I’m supposed to be doing. That was really scary. So, I knew pretty early on after my memory started going that something was wrong.”

Cole’s road to recovery as an especially long one.

“The crazy thing was that after even a month, it was like that’s when real serious side effects started happening” he said. “Everything I said in my return in-ring promo that I did all of that was true, and more. There was a lot of stuff that was happening very late into the healing process, or, what I thought was late, like a month-and-a-half, two months.”

Cole is gearing up for his return to AEW, with all signs pointing to him stepping back into the ring at Revolution next month.

NXT Vengeance Day was a rousing success for WWE on Saturday which saw a number of headlines come out of the event that was well-received by fans, including an injury suffered by Donovan Dijak during his match with Wes Lee for the North American Championship.

Dijak suffered an apparent broken finger during the match, which was seen on camera and shared on social media.

Following the event NXT general manager Shawn Michaels provided an update on Dijak, stating he did not suffer a broken finger – “Yeah, everybody is good” Michaels said. “I announced it at gorilla, it’s got to be a miracle, It’s not broken.

“We got him x-ray, they said it’s not broken and so yeah, I guess what you do is you kind of numb it and put it back in place and that’s what’s happening now. But it is, again, a modern miracle because we all saw it, it was pretty gnarly looking. But, apparently, he’s going to be okay, which is obviously fantastic news for us and him.”

Tony Khan

AEW owner and booker Tony Khan is certainly open to the idea of AEW and WWE working together for a potential crossover supershow, despite Khan’s consistent blasting of WWE over the last few years.

“It’s something I would certainly be open to and I think it’s an interesting thing for the future” Khan said during an appearance on WTF with Marc Maron. “It’s not something that’s ever really been done. They’ve kind of existed in their own space. We are working with a lot of wrestling promotions.”

Khan’s AEW has already worked with a number of promotions such as Impact Wrestling and NJPW, and WWE has even warmed to the idea of working with other promotions, as they have with Impact Wrestling, NJPW, and NOAH recently.
