Lilian Garcia sits down with Melina Perez who made history as the first women to be a multiple-time champion with both WWE Women’s and Divas titles. Melina gets personal with Lilian about her own insecurities and SHOCKINGLY reveals about being a victim of multiple sexual assaults and going through severe depression. She also opens up about how she struggled with suicidal thoughts and an attempt that went wrong, and how she coped and rose above it all. Melina also speaks about the recent death of Ashley Massaro and what being a part of the Squared Circle Sisters has meant to her. Melina then goes on to speak about what she has been up to since leaving the WWE back in 2011. She gives her opinions of what it’s like to be part of the indy wrestling boom as well as being a mentor in the locker room and gives her thoughts on the current women’s divisions. She speaks about if she’s satisfied with her legacy in wrestling and if she plans on retiring anytime soon. All this and so much more as it’s about to get real, raw, and inspiring with Melina.
