== Debuted in the [[Invasion]] (2001) ==

** [[Alpha Bitch]]: That deconstructed into this.

* [[Bitch in Sheep's Clothing]]: Behind that smile lies a real [[Alpha Bitch]]… no wonder Naomi had enough of her.

* [[Sassy Black Woman]]: Ya think

 

* [[Action Girl]]

** [[Dark Action Girl]]

* [[Tall, Dark and Bishoujo]]

 

* [[Action Girl]]

* [[Badass Decay]]: Compare her early career and time in [[TNA]] with the caliber of work she's doing now. Big difference.

* [[Cute Bruiser]]

* [[Demoted to Extra]]: On NXT season 3, AJ has occasionally used a submission Gail Kim ''introduced'' to the WWE. [[Michael Cole]] insists AJ modified it from the octopus hold. [[The New Guy|Scott Stanford rectified this.]]

* [[Shout-Out]]: Her attire and titantron during her early career made several references to [[The Matrix]].

 

* [[Badass Decay]]: Similar to Victoria, she was one of the strongest contenders before being reduced to jobbing to everyone.

* [[Blondes Are Evil]]

* [[Weird Al Effect]]: More people are familiar with her than the singer she parodies.

 

* [[Aborted Arc]]: Kaitlyn was supposed to turn heel on AJ to join Natalya and Beth Phoenix, but the segment on Smackdown where this took place was edited off the broadcast and it was never mentioned again.

* [[Action Girl]]

* [[Pint-Sized Powerhouse]]: 5'5" and armed with power moves. Squats 300 pounds.

 

* [[Action Girl]]

* [[All Girls Want Bad Boys]]: Mike Knox and [[Randy Orton]]. Seems to have learned her lesson by the time she met Drew McIntyre.

* [[The Woobie]]: Abused by Mike Knox, turned on by the rest of the extreme expose, kidnapped by [[Kane (wrestling)|Kane]], rejected by [[Randy Orton]], picked on by Laycool, tormented by [[Screw the Rules, I Make Them|Vickie Guerrero]], scared shitless by Kharma... poor girl seriously needs a hug.

 

* [[Alpha Bitch]]

** [[Lovable Alpha Bitch]]: Yes she's a bitch, but her genuine affection for Michelle makes her very adorable.

* [[Twofer Token Minority]]: She's a woman of Moroccan and Spanish decent.

 

* [[Genius Ditz]]: On one hand, she can accidentally say the wrong thing, but on the other hand...

* [[Tall, Dark and Bishoujo]]

 

* [[Action Girl]]

* [[Arch Enemy]]: [[Trish Stratus]], in [[Real Life]]. Although reports are [[Your Mileage May Vary|unclear]] whether this applies to Melina or to her boyfriend [[John Morrison]] acting on her behalf, what they clearly do indicate is displeasure from that camp at Melina being left off the card at ''[[Wrestlemania]] 27'', and blame pointed at Trish for "taking her spot". This led to Morrison snubbing Trish at the end of the match, as well as turning down several of her ideas beforehand, which reportedly pissed off most of the roster. One wonders why they [[Misblamed|blame Trish]], who is one of the most celebrated wrestlers of all time, and not [[The Jersey Shore|Snooki]], the [[Lowest Common Denominator|reality-show contestant who's never been in a ring]].

** According to [[Bret Hart]]? Melina is the most talented performer - not "Diva", performer - in the WWE today.

* [[Well-Intentioned Extremist]]: Her and [[Beth Phoenix]] as the ''Divas of Doom'' are these.

** [[Alpha Bitch]]: Deconstructed into this.

 

* [[Bastard Girlfriend]]

* [[Beauty Is Bad]]: Because she's not in the same appearance as most of the divas and not conventially sexy she's often lumped with the wrestlers despite being visibly inexperienced in the ring. Kelly Kelly, Eve and the Bellas all have more experience than her.

* [[Tiny Guy, Huge Girl]]: With Santino Marella, in a reprise of [[Beth Phoenix]]'s original gimmick.

* [[Took a Level in Badass]]: Went from something of an afterthought in the Divas division to being pushed as a truly dangerous competitor.

* [[Warrior Prince]]ss: Got this nickname from [[Booker T]] recently.

* [[Wrestling Family]]: Part of the Anoa'i wrestling family. Her father is Jimmy "Superfly" Snuka; her brother James wrestled as "Deuce"; her uncles are the original [[Wild Samoan]]s and Rikishi; and her cousins wrestle as the Usos, whom she once managed.
