MNM Vs Nick Berg & Kevin Matthews

As MNM's reign as WWE Tag Team Champions continued, this easy win over Berg and Matthews would once again display Melina's talents as their cruel, calculating, and beautiful valet.

| A kiss for good luck |
With the entrances complete, Melina places a kiss on the face of Mercury and Nitro before arrogantly shooing away their hapless opponents - a theme that would continue as the match went on. The commentators then refer to the valet's importance in MNM holding the belts, acknowledging her impeccable timing in interfering in matches. As usual, Melina takes her time to leave the ring, a full 10 seconds after the bell to start the match had been rung.
Nick Berg is first in to face off against Joey Mercury. Predictably, Joey takes the upper hand to the cheers and applause of Melina ringside. With Berg's face rammed into the boot of Joey Nitro, MNM's valet points and shouts orders to her men as the assault continues. Melina can then be seen mocking Berg as he lies prone in the ring.

| Spotting an opportunity to intervene |
An uppercut from Nitro draws a mocking gesture from Melina, satisfied that her men are in full control. The valet then proceeds to check her fingernails and look dismissively to the crowd, such is her confidence in the result of the match. Unbelievably, she then takes out her cellphone and commences a lengthy conversation while the match continues in the ring - a gesture of supreme arrogance and dismissiveness.

As a hurt Nick Berg is thrown out of the ring by Mercury at 3:50 in, Melina is still engaged in her phone call. However, with the referee diverted she prowls around the ring to where the stricken opponent lies, before taking aim and launching a brutal kick to the midsection of Berg. The sound of the impact shows how hard the valet's kick was, and Berg wheels away in clear pain as Melina continues her call and the referee's back still turned.

More excellent work from Nitro and Mercury continues as Melina gestures her approval whilst still on the phone. Berg is in big trouble now as Melina berates the crowd to keep quiet to allow her call to continue. Finally Berg manages to tag in Kevin Matthews, prompting Melina to end her call some two and a half minutes after it began.

| The call continues.... |
A brief period of success for Matthews ends as he flies into the boot of Nitro, and the match is soon over as Joey closes things out. Melina looks mockingly at Matthews before Joey throws him out of the ring. Berg is then forced to the ring apron as the beautiful valet laughs and points in their direction.

| Melina mocks Matthews |
A display of pure arrogance and narcissism, Melina nevertheless clearly assisted in the win thanks to excellent timing and a willingness to physically hurt MNM's opponents when the opportunity arose. Vocal as always, she helped to direct operations in-ring despite spending much of the bout on her cellphone, and her continual mocking gestures to Berg and Matthews will no doubt have helped to erode any confidence they may have had in stepping up to take on the champions. The kick to the stomach of Berg will live long in the memory, not just for the stricken wrestler, but also for the crowd ringside who witnessed how brutal and calculated the beautiful valet could be. Ruthless, arrogant, but very effective....
