melinaFormer WWE Diva Melina wrestled her first match since 2012 last night at a Stardom event in Covina, CA.

Melina teamed up with Santana Garrett to face Thunder Rosa and Hudson Envy in a tag team match.

Melina has not wrestled a match since she faced former WWE Diva Jillian Hall in a match in September 2012 in Pennsylvania. Although she has never formally announced her retirement, Melina consistently refers to herself as a “former” pro wrestler.

Melina did make an appearance on the season finale of Lucha Underground season one, as she assisted Johnny Mundo in his match against Alberto El Patron. Melina did not, however, wrestle for the promotion.

Below are photos of Melina’s appearance last night, and you can check out full results from the Stardom show at this link:
