WWE.com has added a full preview for Melina and Beth Phoenix’s Women’s Championship match at the Royal Rumble on January 25th:
After spending months injured and out of action, Melina has returned to the ring with one thing on her mind: The WWE Women’s Title. At Royal Rumble, the two-time Women’s Champion will finally have an opportunity to win the coveted gold as she faces off against Women’s Champion Beth Phoenix.
Since her return, Melina has spent weeks racking up victories over Raw’s impressive Divas roster. This momentum served her well as she participated in a Diva Battle Royal on Raw to determine the No. 1 contender for Beth Phoenix’s title. Though the match came down to her and another former Women’s Champion, Mickie James, Melina persevered, earning the right to face The Glamazon at Royal Rumble only a month after making her post-injury return to WWE.
Months earlier, at the 2008 WWE Draft, Melina fell from the turnbuckles, severely injuring her ankle, keeping her from in-ring competition for almost half of the year. Returning ahead of schedule in November, Melina quickly made known her intention to win the Women’s Championship for the third time by taking it from the near-unstoppable Beth Phoenix. The Glamazon didn’t take the threats well, but she was even more incensed when Melina took aim at Santino Marella, embarrassing Beth’s beau and causing the Italian Superstar to suffer multiple injuries to his family jewels.
Though 2008 Diva of the Year Beth Phoenix has cemented her reputation as one of the most dominant Divas in WWE history, Melina has returned to action in fighting form and is focused on winning championship gold. But will her ambition be enough to take down The Glamazon?
Find out who is truly the most dominant Diva by watching Royal Rumble, live on Sunday, Jan. 25, only on pay-per-view.
So what do you think - does Melina stand a chance?
