Former WWE Diva Melina Perez made her Lucha Underground debut at the end of season 1 but was replaced by a woman named Taya for season two. The Wrestling Observer newsletter noted that Melina was said to be extremely difficult to deal with.
Melina posted this statement on the rumors via Twitter:
“I love wrestling, but I never thought I’d see this much crazy from people where they’d start rumors & such,long after I’ve stopped wrestling. During my career, All I wanted was to be around people that loved what I loved and make magic with them. I’m not even in wrestling anymore and people still keep fabricating stories of this evil, villain of a woman. It’s awesome to think my onscreen character was that convincing,but in actuality… That’s just crazy!”
When I first set out to be in wrestling, I was thinking it was going to be all #HappyJoyJoy 😆🙈 ☀️📞#AtTimesItSOisnt! pic.twitter.com/eq3WTraOg8
